What are the characteristics of Hong Kong?

There is no need to tax Hong Kong. Everything is cheap.

It is called a shopping paradise.

I have long heard that the air conditioning in shopping malls in Hong Kong is particularly adequate, which inevitably makes Bunny Xiaomang, who is particularly afraid of the cold, flinch. Fortunately, Hong Kong is rich in shopping resources, and there are many characteristic streets to visit besides shopping malls.

There are countless blocks to visit, and the more prosperous areas are mainly Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay.

Characteristic block number 1: Nathan Road

Nathan Road is a boundary street extending from Tsim Sha Tsui to the northern part of Kowloon Peninsula, which makes people feel very long. Walking from Tsim Sha Tsui subway station to Jordan is the most prosperous section of the street, with jewelry shops (Zhou Shengsheng, Xie Ruilin, Chow Tai Fook, etc. ), electrical stores, pharmacies-Nathan Road is more beautiful after dark, all kinds of neon signs are shining, and crowds of people are running around like crucian carp.

There are many small shops here, and the goods in each shop can dazzle people. The feeling of going west after leaving the owner's front foot will definitely make every girl who has a persistent pursuit of beauty exclaim: Hong Kong is really a paradise for women. The "tidal zone" located at the center of Xinhe (580A Nathan Road) must be visited when you have time! It is a trend plaything for teenagers, various avant-garde clothing stores, Japanese classic animation boutiques, movie poster franchise stores, shoe stores, fashion jewelry stores and other individual colors. It can be said that it is the most crowded "shopping mall movement" in this block.

Transportation: Tsim Sha Tsui subway station goes up.

Business hours: 1 1: 00-0: 00.

No.2 Characteristic Block: Granville Road

It's a pity if we can't get to Granville Road in Hong Kong. Why do you say that? There are three reasons. First, on both sides of this small street that runs through the east of Tsim Sha Tsui and Nathan Road, there are large and small fashion export shops for men and women, which can make shoppers feast. All kinds of clothes, ladies' headdresses and jewelry sold here are at the forefront of fashion and the prices are not very expensive. Of course, Hong Kong people do business differently from the mainland. If the price of your counter is far from the marked price, the shopkeeper won't invite you back. Secondly, in addition to the franchise stores of Sasha and H2O, the "Dragon City Pharmacy" that has been operating for decades is a must. Besides selling medicine, the most exciting thing is that the price of cosmetics sold here is much cheaper than that on the market, and the quality is also guaranteed. Lancome, SK-II, Clinique, H2O and other cosmetics brands that China people like can be found here, but the only thing that people can't do is that the store is not big. Thirdly, the business hours here 12 don't end until midnight, which is different from the practice that commercial streets in Beijing and even Shanghai must close at 90 pm. No matter after friends get together, have a conference banquet, or visit all the big shopping malls (big shopping malls in Hong Kong usually close around 2 1: 30), it will make people more interested to visit here again.

Transportation: Exit B 1 of Tsim Sha Tsui Subway Station, go straight along Nathan Road and turn right to Granville Road.

Business hours: 1 1: 00-0: 00.

Characteristic block NO3: Men's Street and Women's Street.

Ladies Street and Temple Street are about one stop apart. They are all open-air street vendors, and the night market is truly brightly lit after 7: 00 every night.

Women's Street, also known as Cai Tong Street, has more than 500 stalls, which are displayed almost every afternoon. Most of them sell all kinds of cheap goods here, and 50% of them are very cheap women's products, such as fashion, jewelry, cosmetics, socks, underwear, etc., hence the name "Women's Street". In addition to outdoor stalls, there are also small shops selling daily necessities. If you can find a "ball book" that has been operating here for ten years, you can buy Vietnamese embroidered shoes and beaded shoes that are very popular in Hong Kong for only a few tens of Hong Kong dollars. It is said that even Kelly Chen has a pair of such shoes.

Temple Street is a famous "Men's Street" in Hong Kong. There are many kinds of goods sold here, including clothing, electrical appliances, toys, lighters, men's clothes and ties, suitcases, clocks and watches, imitation antique works of art, handicrafts from various countries and so on. There are also many foreign clothing stores that make cheap jeans and suits on both sides of the street. Here, you can also taste traditional Hong Kong cuisine, such as the famous stinky tofu. In the evening, there are many fortune-telling booths on the roadside, as well as performances of singing operas and performing arts. If you like to experience the rich local color of Hong Kong, how can you miss this unique "civilian nightclub"?

Transportation: Ladies Street: East Exit E2 of Nelson Street, Mong Kok Subway Station.

Temple Street: Jordan Subway Station Exit A, turn right and go straight along Jordan Road, then turn right.

Business hours: 65438+ 02:00-22:30 noon.

The fourth characteristic block: Tiyu Street-Huayuan Street

Garden Street can be divided into two parts. On the road near Prince Edward Road West, there are open-air stalls selling Japanese clothes, daily necessities and fruits everywhere. The shops on both sides of the street mainly deal in local or export clothing. If you want to experience the daily life of ordinary people in Hong Kong, come here. At eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the dazzling array of open-air stalls will all "wake up", and the crowded crowd and fresh market atmosphere will come to my face. It's a bit like some morning markets in Beijing. Although the things here are low-grade, the prices are naturally cheap. The cheapest T-shirt for children's wear is only HK$ 1 yuan, and some adult T-shirts are only HK$ 15. The price of backpacks ranges from 19.90 yuan to 300-400 yuan, and some jewelry can be bought in 5 yuan. Each set of VCD game software is HK$ 15, and there are many kinds of bedding, belts and headdresses for you to choose from. ?

The most interesting is the section of Garden Street near Mong Kok (that is, the section between Shandong Street and Argyle Street), because it is the center of sporting goods stores, and you can catch all the most popular sportswear here. The shops here deal in brand-name sports shoes, sportswear, number badges and so on. Many styles are quite fashionable and unique, and it is hard to find them in sportswear stores in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. If your eyes are unique enough, you may be able to buy "limited" products for sale. The brands sold here are Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Puma Sport, Lootto, converse and so on. At the same time, there are many shops here that provide customized jerseys and screen printing services, but please know when the jerseys were made and whether they can be mailed out.

Transportation: near Prince/Mong Kok subway station.

Business hours: outdoor booth 9: 00- 19: 00, street shop 1 1: 00-23: 30.

No.5 Characteristic Block: Toy Street-Taiyuan Street

Although Hong Kong is a shopping paradise for ladies, it is not childlike to come to Taiyuan Street and look at all kinds of toys. Mini remote control car with flashing red light and roaring engine, heroic story characters, antique salted egg superman, eye-opening mobile suit, digital baby and "Gundam" fighting toy hit by Hong Kong drama are really dazzling. Love toys, childlike innocence, might as well go to "Toy Horse Ruler" (C-ground floor), "Hongxing Toys" (C-shop 19) and "Risheng Toys" (C-shop 18) to find something that can pin your dreams and exert your imagination!

Address: Wan Chai Subway Station Exit A 1 or A3, about 5 minutes' walk.

Tip: If you have time, Stanley Market, Sham Shui Po Tubu Changsha Road Export Clothing Store, local factory clothing in Yumin Street in Hongshikan, jade market in Gansu Street in Yau Ma Tei, and Liyuan Dongxi Street near Des Voeux Road Central are also good places to choose things. As long as you have physical strength, patience and vision, you can enjoy bargaining and carefree shopping.
