There is no tax in Hong Kong and everything is very cheap.

It is known as a shopping paradise.

I have long heard that the air-conditioning in Hong Kong shopping malls is very good, which will inevitably scare away the little bunny who is particularly afraid of the cold. Fortunately, Hong Kong is very rich in shopping resources. In addition to shopping malls, there are also many specialty streets. stroll.

There are countless neighborhoods to visit in Hong Kong, and the more prosperous areas are mainly concentrated in Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Causeway Bay.

Featured neighborhood NO1: Nathan Road

Nathan Road is a boundary street that stretches from Tsim Sha Tsui to the north of the Kowloon Peninsula. It feels very long. After getting off the Tsim Sha Ju MTR station and heading towards Jordan, the busiest section of the street is home to jewelry and gold stores (Chow Sang Sang, Tse Sui-lun, Chow Tai Fook, etc.), electrical appliance stores, and herbal medicine stores - Nathan Road is even more beautiful after dark. , all kinds of neon signs flashed dazzlingly, and the crowds of people were rushing back and forth like crucian carp.

The small shops here are lined up one after another, and the products in each store can make people dazzled. It feels like leaving the east store and then entering the west store.

Specialty neighborhood NO2: Granville Road

It would be a pity not to visit Granville Road in Hong Kong. Why do I say this? There are three reasons. Firstly, this small street that runs through Tsim Sha Tsui East and Nathan Road is lined with large and small men's and women's fashion outlets, which will satisfy the shopping crowd. The various clothing, women's headwear, and jewelry sold here are all at the forefront of fashion, and the prices are not very expensive and need to be discussed. Of course, people in Hong Kong do business differently from those in the mainland. If the difference is huge, the store owner will never ask you to come back. Secondly, in addition to the specialty stores of Salsa and H2O on this street, the "Dragon City Pharmacy" which has been operating for decades is a must-see. In addition to selling medicines, the most exciting thing is the cosmetics sold here. The price is much cheaper than on the market, and the quality is guaranteed. You can find Lanc?me, SK-II, Clinique, H2O and other popular cosmetics brands here. But the only thing that makes people unable to do their best is that because the store is not big, Because of its reputation, some of the products you want are often out of stock. Thirdly, the business hours here do not end until 12 midnight, which is different from the practice of shopping malls in Beijing and even Shanghai that will definitely shut you down at 90 o'clock in the evening. After all the big shopping malls are closed (large shopping malls in Hong Kong usually close around 21:30), visiting here will make you even more exhausted.
