Your ultimate guide to Hong Kong's best shopping malls

Enjoy the finer things in life at 1881 Heritage, Tsim Sha Tsui’s elegant shopping space that was once home to the Former Marine Police Headquarters. Shop your day away at this 120-year-old building featuring luxury shops, fine dining, a heritage hotel and culture hall where you can learn the history of the site. Just steps away from the Star Ferry, it’s the perfect place to start exploring the history of Hong Kong.

Located in West Kowloon above Kowloon Station, Elements is a convenient spot attached to the Airport Express, a plethora of apartments, as well as the ICC. Shop till you drop at the wide range of luxury stores or make use of their indoor skating rink and Premiere Cinemas, which is said to be the largest cinema in Hong Kong with 12 theatre houses. 

Harbour City sprawls along the Kowloon side of Victoria Harbour where you can catch the Star Ferry, walk along the Avenue of Stars, and explore Tsim Sha Tsui. Whatever you want, you can probably find it in Harbour City. From dining and shopping to hotels, this mall has all your bases covered for the perfect day out in Hong Kong. If you visit during any holiday season be sure to check out the stunning displays out front for the perfect photo op. The Ocean Terminal extending out into the harbour also offers a wonderfully unobstructed view of Victoria Harbour. Even its car park has views for days!

A hybrid between a retail mall and an art museum, K11 is a unique platform showcasing pioneering artwork created by Hong Kong artists. Founded by Adrian Cheng in 2008, the art mall collaborates with the non-profit K11 Art Foundation to bring innovative projects and out-of-the-box exhibitions by our local creative talents.

Dubbing itself the "Silicon Valley of Culture", K11 Musea is a behemoth. Apart from a huge variety of shops – from luxury and beauty brands to kids and lifestyle stores – there's also an amazing selection of world-class restaurants and casual eateries to choose from. But unlike any other malls in the city, this harbourside landmark is also decked out in artworks of all shapes and sizes. Even the peacock-shaped kids' playground looks like a giant art installation. K11 Musea also regularly hosts various art and cultural activities where creative minds from Hong Kong and around the world come together for some of the most fascinating showcases in the city. Come for the shopping, stay for the art.

Spend some time exploring the bustling area of Mong Kok at Langham Place. With so much to offer, this mall is packed with great shopping for any budget – if you’re bored, you’re not looking hard enough. Keep your eyes open for the mall’s events and performances as you might catch one of your favourite performers on stage.

As you can tell from the name, this shopping mall is seriously mega, boasting 1.1 million sq ft and spanning 19 stories. Housing an international-sized ice rink that previously hosted Olympic qualifiers and local figure skating contests, a massive IMAX cinema and more than 60 stores, get ready for some serious shopping. To make things even easier for you, there are free shuttle buses running between the mall and Kowloon Bay MTR Station. You could also fit in some retail therapy before a gig at the nearby Kitec. 

One of the largest malls in Mong Kok, this spot is super convenient as it's connected to the Mong Kong East MTR station. Browse through the diverse mix of stores and restaurants or take a break in the UA Cinema or IMAX theatre to catch a movie. There’s even an outdoor playground for the little ones.

Opened back in 2017 on the iconic Sneaker Street in Mong Kok, The Forest is a nature/sports-themed shopping destination that sells a comprehensive range of the latest sports-related products in a sustainable environment with ample greenery. Inspired by Tokyo's trendy Daikanyama district with cute narrow alleys, vibrant shopping spots and of course, lots of greenery, browse through the 50,000 sq ft, three-storey mall while taking in the 'fresh air' (it is Mong Kok after all). 

A shopping mall in the shape of a cruise ship. Definitely not the usual then. The area was a former dockyard and the luxury cruise ship is supposedly representative of its former landscape. While the exterior is a little quirky, the inside is a little less exciting with standard shops and unfortunately, nothing nautical-themed. But at least it makes for a cool pic before spending some moolah.  

Just next door to City University, Festival Walk is a convenient store to browse through whether you live in the area or are going to study. Relax at the various mall cafes or shop your day away with a number of stores and famous fashion brands that would keep any fashionista happy.

Hang out in the heart of Sha Tin at New Town Plaza. Whether you’re visiting the area or passing by for the races, it’s the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat with friends and family or to satisfy some much-needed shopping therapy. Want to bring your fur baby along? Head to the adorable pets park on the first floor and let them run wild.

Attached to Tseung Kwan O MTR station, PopCorn is a stylish hub for those who want to do a bit of retail therapy or catch the latest Hollywood flick. A mall is not complete without a good selection of food and snacks and PopCorn is no exception, offering a range of tasty cuisines suited to any palate.

If you’re ever all the way up in Yuen Long, stop by Yoho Mall to get your shopping and dining fix in a fashionable and comfortable setting. Don’t forget to keep up to date on the mall’s events and offerings for shopping and dining deals you won’t be able to pass up.
