This historical street is great for last-minute costumes when you need something there and then. It's filled with stalls selling everything and anything you could imagine. From the freakiest masks, colourful costumes and fun wigs, Pottinger Street has it all. Plus, the great thing about having all the stalls in a row is that you can take a look through all of the shops, as they sell similar things, so you can check prices and make sure you come away with some real steals! 

As one of the world's biggest online stores, TaoBao sells pretty much everything in existence. So, it's a great place to shop for any fancy dress or costume your heart desires. It's also great if you don't have the time to go out and shop, and even better with the shockingly low prices! However, the shopping platform is only in Chinese, so you can either do your very best with Google Translate, or you can ask a good friend who can read Chinese very nicely to help you navigate.
