Sheung Wan Elegant, exotic and hip, the old neighbourhood of Sheung Wan is an eclectic blend of shopping experiences dominated by traditional Chinese beliefs and businesses. Start with the historic Western Market, which offers an array of handicraft shops nestled inside an Edwardian-style mall. To the west is Dried Seafood Street, Wing Lok Street and Bonham Strand West, where locals head to purchase dried abalone, scallops and other pungent products for soups and tonics. Make sure to drop into Koh Shing Street, where you’ll witness the ancient practice of Chinese medicine in action. To the east of Western Market, you can also browse the antiques shops and curios on and around Cat Street, before wrapping up your day by perusing the designer household accessories and hip restaurants in the shabby colonial chic of Gough Street. Stanley You won’t be long at Stanley before you understand why this sleepy seaside village on Hong Kong Island’s south side is a favourite with foodies and shoppers. The latter come for the popular Stanley Market; a warren of clothing, accessories and handicrafts; as well as the bright and airy Stanley Plaza. Shopping here is well-complemented by cooling ocean breezes, views of the South China Sea, pubs and watering holes, and a great choice of local and international food. Wan Chai Made internationally famous by the 1960 film The World of Suzie Wong, historic Wan Chai is not just Hong Kong’s party district; by day it’s a pleasant neighborhood for wandering and shopping. Dotted along Queen's Road East are a number of excellent rattan and Chinese furniture shops that will happily arrange to have your purchases sent home for you or, for competitively priced clothing, try Spring Garden Lane where stalls offload garments originally earmarked for export. Techies won’t complain about getting lost in the Wan Chai Computer Centre on Hennessy Road; a building jam-packed with hardware, software, accessories and other gadgets. And both kids and adults’ might want to check out Tai Yuen Street; an entire strip of toys touting everything from the latest to the classics.
