Shops and malls in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a former British colony, now an autonomous territory within the People's Republic of China, a world financial center with excellent transport and tourism infrastructure. Entrepreneurship is one of the character traits of local residents. All these factors determine the development of trade in Hong Kong and make it a great place to shop..
Hong Kong is intended rather for exclusive or at least quality purchases. Cheap products from the standard Chinese market cannot be found here. They say that East and West meet in Hong Kong, and also that the impossible can be bought here. For example, an iPhone for a couple of tens of dollars, which easily turns into a TV with a telescopic antenna, and the logo with a bitten apple will be glued to any part of it - of your choice. And this unit will serve you faithfully for many years..
It is impossible to describe all the variety of shops in Hong Kong, let alone visit. It is probably more convenient to divide the metropolis into shopping areas, and devote at least a day to one of them..
