The best shopping in Hong Kong is all about excess: Most malls are high in store offerings and low on AC temperatures. While it can be hard to escape from luxury boutiques in this label-obsessed city, our shopping guide will direct you to a plethora of independent shops beyond Queen's Road Central or Nathan Road. Lifestyle stores like WOAW and Kapok are treasure troves for hard-to-find accessories high in both quality and design aesthetics. G.O.D. specializes in cheeky T-shirts and memorabilia printed with Hong Kong's iconic sights. For souvenirs, Stanley Market and Ladies Market are on the predictable end of the spectrum—but still worth the visit if only for the lively atmosphere.
