GOLDEN COMPUTER CENTRE
Read moreThe Golden Centre at Nathan Road at Shamshuipo metro Station offers interesting electronic products. Specialized channels offer more reliable service and more attractive prices than some retail stores. The chains of the Fortress and Broadway stores for Hi-Fi and audio-visual equipment have advantages in terms of warranty and after-sales services. It is imperative to purchase equipment from resellers accredited to the Hong Kong Tourism Board. They display on their storefront a logo with a red junk. Each purchase must be accompanied by an international guarantee.
CHUNGKING MANSIONS
Read moreChungking Residences is well suited for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and the plethora of small signs on two floors. Clothing, electronics, baggage, crafts, manicure… If you want to have a suit, think good negotiating before, but work is generally well done and reasonable prices.
WESTERN MARKET
Read moreWestern Market is a beautiful Edwardian building, restored in 1991, home to about Chinese fabrics and Crafts shops. In the vicinity (Bonham Strand East and West, Sutherland Street, Wing Lok Street…), the streets carve out an impressive wholesale market of all kinds of medicinal plants and terrestrial or salted marine or sea-to-sea (to each evil). These stores feed the city's herboristeries and represent the mainstay of Chinese medicine. A walk not to be missed. There is nothing to be impressed with the quantities exposed and the appearance of certain products that are difficult to identify (dried snakes, giant mussels, deer horns), all nicely and perfectly presented.
