Bustling Tsim Sha Tsui
Between neon billboards and sellers of fake goods you can find Nathan Road, the golden mile for gadgets. Those aren’t the only things you can buy in this district, the most popular with tourists in the city. There are also several shopping centres, such as iSQUARE, with 31 storeys, THE ONE, and K11, the place where art and shopping go hand in hand.

Like New York or London, Hong Kong also has its own SoHo. This neighbourhood is south of Hollywood Road and is full of fashion boutiques, art galleries and antique shops. Here you can also discover small treasures such as Gareth Pugh, Ann Demeulemeester or Acne Studios, which do not have sales outlets in other cities.

They don’t just have coats and jackets, they also sell umbrellas and other accessories.
