Where to Shop in Hong Kong? Check out these 5 Cool Places
Hong Kong has always been a shopping heaven, due to its tax free status. From glitzy malls to traditional vibrant bustling street markets, there are endless options to explore shopping in Hong Kong especially in the summer season. So here are some of the cool ideas for your next shopping trip to Hong Kong.
1. Cheung Sha Wan Fashion Street
Cheung Sha Wan Fashion street is local’s favourite for all things fashion related, at a bargain. This is a long street with over 250 shops selling clothes and accessories (from fabrics, buttons to embellishments) through wholesale or retails. Although Cheung Sha Wan Fashion Street is better known for its wholesale selections where usually 4 articles are counted as a bulk buy, retail shoppers too often find good buys here with HKD10 onwards. The selections available are too many I could spend all day browsing and shopping here. Do note that cash purchases are the norm here.
Location: Cheung Sha Wan Road, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon
How to get there: Easiest by MTR from Sham Shui Po station, take exit C1 and walk to Cheung Sha Wan Road.
2. Doughnut
One of the better known local designers for outdoor backpacks and luggages, Doughnut is famous for its chic designs. Since its humble beginning in 2010 from Sham Shui Po, Doughnut has now expanded to having stores in Causeway Bay, Sha Tin and Tuen Mun. I love the many colours and design options in the shop, which will make any outdoor adventures so much more fun and fashionable.
Location: 68 Fuk Wa Street, Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong
How to get there: Also by MTR from Sham Shui Po station, take exit D2 to Fuk Wa Street.

Looking to buy electronic gadgets or mobile phones accessories? Then check out Apliu Street Electronic Flea Market also located in Sham Shui Po near Cheung Sha Wan Fashion Street. Bargain priced electronic devices, audio-visual equipment and telecommunications products are up for sale both new and second-hand. Now I know where to find the latest cool gadgets in Hong Kong.

4. G.O.D. (Goods of Desire)
Goods of Desire or more commonly known as G.O.D., is a local lifestyle design and retail brand. Founded in 1996 by Douglas Young and Benjamin Lau, G.O.D. is famous for its quirky interpretation of what makes Hong Kong so unique. I love its cool design which showcases the culture and arts of this fabulous city.
Location: 8 stores all over Hong Kong’s prime locations.
I went to the one at Causeway Bay, which is located next to Times Square Hong Kong on Sharp Street.
5. Loveramics
Founded by local, William Lee, Loveramics is the coolest place in Hong Kong to shop for chef’s tableware, artist-inspired mugs, coffee or tea cups, kitchen prep tools, and many more. Moreover, Loveramics has been creating the official cups for the World Latte Art Championships since 2015. When I was in the shop, I did feel like changing my entire kitchenware to everything Loveramics because they are so beautiful and stylish.
