Kowloon Shopping
Where to Shop in Kowloon
Kowloon is quite the place for shoppers. There are numerous high-end name brand stores around the Tsim Sha Tsui end of the Kowloon peninsular while busy and fascinating street markets feature at the Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok areas at the other end of Nathan Road. Here's where to buy anything from a gold necklace to a pet goldfish.
Sportswear Street on Fa Yuen Street is where you can find trendy sportswear and sports equipment. Kowloon's numerous department stores and shopping centres vie with the factory outlets along Granville Road, which are a must for bargain shoppers.
Apliu Street
For those after a bargain in the electronics and accessories field, the Apliu Street Market is one of the best in Hong Kong. Stalls at this open-air arrangement sell a wide variety of products at reasonable prices, allowing shoppers to trade secondhand goods. The sheer variety of things available at the market is mind-boggling. The Hong Kong government promotes Apliu Street as Hong Kong's answer to Japan's Akihabara.
Nathan Road and Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard
Put simply, Nathan Road is the major shopping area of Kowloon. Starting from the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Nathan Road runs the whole length of Kowloon. The lower part of the road, marked at one end by the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade and the other end by the Jordan MTR Station, is the place to go if you are bargain hunting. Everything – from tacky stores aimed at tourists, to high class brand names – can be found in this district. Halfway along, between the Tsim Sha Tsui and Jordan MTR Stations, along the Nathan Road side of Kowloon Park is the Park Lane Shopper’s Boulevard. It’s here where you’ll find a gaggle of stunning boutiques stocking both international and local brands.
Cheung Sha Wan Road Fashion Street
This is the best place in town to buy groovy threads at wholesale prices. Most of the shops are located between Wong Chuk Street and Yen Chow Street. The clothes are generally extras from clothes factories in and around Sham Shui Po – also with a few rejects to choose from. A lot of the dealers running the shops are genuinely knowledgeable about what they're doing so you're in good hands and will be able to get some excellent deals and bargains.

Kowloon Markets
Ladies' Market and Fa Yuen Street Market
Fa Yuen Street, a smaller market, is a typical Hong-Kong style market with fresh food and lots and lots of knick-knacks. The extremely popular Ladies Market is a veritable explosion of clothing (in spite of its name it caters for both sexes) and accessories, shoes and bags. Things can get a little crowded here, so much so that vendors have to use hooked poles to dislodge higher-placed items for sale and the path that runs down the centre of the market is barely wide enough to cater for one person, there's so much crammed into the space. In spite of this, it's loads of shopping fun.
