Hong Kong is a shopaholics’ paradise. We’ve got some of the coolest street markets selling every kind of knick-knack, independent shops offering something more outside the box and even secret shops hidden in all corners of the city. But one thing’s for sure, there’s a shopping mall in practically every neighbourhood, big or small. Each mall is different and unique in its own way, whether by size and location, luxury or quirky, it’s almost impossible to leave without whipping out your wallet. Hong Kong Island is home to some of the best retail spots in the world, so follow this guide for the top shopping malls on the island. 

Best malls on Hong Kong Island

  • Taikoo Shing

Hop on over to Taikoo Shing for some of the best shopping and entertainment in Hong Kong. The mall is home to the Ice Palace where you can freely glide on ice or sign up for a few lessons. If hitting the ice isn’t your thing, get stuck into the litany of food options ranging from local cuisine to Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai food; or relax at the mall’s cinema where you can catch the latest flicks.

If you’re heading to Causeway Bay, you can’t miss taking a stroll through Fashion Walk, which comprises both indoor and outdoor spaces across Paterson, Cleveland, and Kingston Street.

One of the biggest conservation projects in Hong Kong, the former Hong Kong Police Married Quarters has been revitalised as a centre of all things creative and design-based. Over 100 creative enterprises can be found at PMQ, where old residential units have been converted into small shops, boutiques, and design studios selling handmade products including jewellery, clothing, and homeware. Pop-up stores from international designers are also a common sight at PMQ, and the regular markets are particularly popular among design enthusiasts.

  • Causeway Bay

Sogo is everyone’s favourite meeting point in Causeway Bay (after the giant TV at Time Square). It's known for its mix of luxury brands like Prada and Tiffany’s and affordable offerings that deal in things like luggage and home appliances. But the main draw that keeps locals and tourists coming is the countless beauty brand counters and the Sogo Freshmart that specialises in imported Japanese groceries and confectioneries.
