My Hong Kong

I am by no means an expert of Hong Kong, but I do love the place and would like to share some of my favorite places. This is for my dear friend SC who will be going to Hong Kong soon.

1. Peking Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, where the Giordano and Bossini outlet stores are located. Also nearby is an Esprit outlet store.

2. Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui for the big H&M store across the Marco Polo Hotel. At the Ocean Terminal, Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Tod's and Louis Vuitton. Loved shopping at H&M because surprise surprise, they have the size XL which fits me, and loved window shopping at the other stores. Chanel sales associates are the best, very helpful and accommodating even if it was so obvious that I was just an uzi. Louis Vuitton sales associates are the worst. Not sure if this is true for all LV branches in Hong Kong or just this branch.

Also at the Ocean Terminal are City Super for food items, Fortress for electronics and Muji, a Japanese store containing almost everything -- clothes, things for the home, linen and food items.

3. Citygate Outlet Mall in Tung Chung. My favorite stores are Puma, Nike, Esprit, Samsonite and Polo Ralph Lauren. Outlets of Kate Spade, Burberry and Bally can also be found there as well as Fortress for electronics.

4. Festival Walk at Kowloon Tong where Uniqlo and H&M are my favorites. Check out the sleepwear in Uniqlo, they're so cute.

5. World Trade Center in Causeway Bay beside the Excelsior Hotel where Uniqlo and Muji can be found.

6. IFC Mall where there is a Lane Crawford and Zara. I loved their rooftop which was like a park with comfortable lounging chairs and tables where one can just bring food to eat, relax with friends and family or just rest from all the shopping. The view is also amazing.

Hope you found this helpful. Please feel free to add to the list!
