Food Markets: Fresh Fruits on Graham Street Food Markets Review

Turning down Graham Street, I was surprised to find so many merchants selling their fruits & vegetables! I always like turning down one of these small streets. The way the goods are arranged, all the fruits looked so colorful and tempting. I ended up buying a cup of mixed fruits and a mango juice for $20 HKD!

Address: Hong Kong Island, near the Soho area

Shopping Complexes: Harbour City Shopping Complexes Review

This place is HUGE !!! Lots of brand names and lots of stores to shop for women and men alike. It's located on the eastern side of Kowloon along Canton Rd. One can easily spend a day (and a fortune) going to all the shops. Check out all three sections and all four (five?) floors!

Directions: Eastern side of Kowloon, along the Harbor and Canton Rd.

Shopping Complexes: The Landmark Shopping Complexes Review

The Landmark is located in Central on Hong Kong Island. It has the usual brand-named stores where you can shop til you drop. Believe me, I did and I have the blisters to prove it. Honestly though, I wasn't too impressed with it when compared to Times Square in Causeway Bay.

Directions: Central, on Queen Anne's Road

Get Poor at Park Lane Shopping Boulevard

Directly east of Kowloon Park, you can find a whole slew of shops right on Nathan Road. Shops include U2, G2000, Nike, Giordano, etc...

It's a great place to do all your shopping and it's right there next to the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station!

Directions: Just outside Tsim Sha Tsui Station

Jardine's Crescent: Jardine's Crescent at Causeway Bay

Jardine's Cresent in Causeway Bay is a lot like Ladies Market in Mong Kok. Lots and lots of clothes sold by local merchants. It's a really narrow street and it's usually crowded with people bargaining.

What to pay: Whatever you buy, haggle for it. The clothes that they're selling may come at a cheap price, but it may be of questionable quality.

Directions: Exit the Causeway Bay MTR station and head towards Times Square. It'll be on your left.

Ladies Market: They Don't Sell Ladies Ladies Market Review

When I first heard of this place, I thought it sounded pretty shady. But, Ladies Market is simply a market in Mong Kok, Kowloon, where they sell just about anything/everything... well almost.

I hear in the early morning, they sell fruits and in the afternoon and evening, clothes and other miscellaneous items are sold.

Try not to get their in the late morning, because I think that's when the transition from fruit to clothes market takes place.

What to pay: From cheap to expensive... just remember to haggle.

Directions: Mong Kok. 5 minute walk easat of MTR Mong Kok Station, off of Dundas Street.
