Hong Kong's Central
district houses many shimmering skyscrapers and marbled shopping
atriums and malls.
The contrast between the old world markets and designer boutiques
provides variety |
and excitement to
any shopping day. Scattered among the government headquarters
and financial and banking houses are a wealth of opportunities
for any shopper. The Landmark, The Galleria, Prince's Building,
Alexandra House and the ifc mall are the main shopping centres,
with designer shops and exclusive brand names in abundance.

Two parallel streets
in Central known as "The Lanes", Li Yuen Street
East and Li Yuen Street West are a riot of stalls hawking
everything from inexpensive clothing, watches and costume
jewellery to luggage and shoes. Situated between Queen's Road
|
| Central and Des Voeux
Road Central, the market is open daily from 10am to 7pm. Stanley
Street is known for its range and reasonably priced photographic
equipment. Hollywood Road winds above the Central business
district and is Hong Kong's antiques row. Farther west towards
Sheung Wan is a bustle of sidewalk hawkers on Central's stepped
"ladder" streets. |
