Shopping in Hong Kong is part of why the city is among the most popular tourist destinations in Asia. Sales in and around Central on Hong Kong Island, as well as limitless bargains in Mongkok, take place year-round. Hong Kong's summer sales last from July until the end of August, which include as much as 70% discount on previous season’s collections, and even discounts on selected items of the current season.
Designer shops and exclusive labels are a dime a dozen here – foreign tourists usually visit Hong Kong to restock and update their wardrobe. Traditional markets offer silk products, Chinese artwork, collectables and curios at affordable prices, while just across the border, Macau and Shenzhen offer even more retail therapy for shoppers.
