I will be in HK in January and have been hearing of “all” the “bargains” to be got there !!! Ok what are the reak things I should try buy to save some euros and where will I go to shop and get these savings

[BRUSHES]

about the only things worthwhile are pearls (buy unstrung if this will result in lower duties). a good tailor is easy to find but a good suit will take 3-4 days.

[KReynolds]

I heard electronic items are much cheaper than Europe?

[pineapple1223]

Maybe. But be careful. Some shops are not very honest.

[samanthacoleman80]

I think the only cheap thing in HNK is groceries

[travelwell]

sam’s tailor on nathan road, wonderful shirts, not that cheep but great quality and service.

There is no sales tax / VAT so often you can save on items which normally have high tax.

European brands tend to be quite expensive though. Electronics are best

[Travellator]

Electrical goods have small savings but you may find the latest model not due to be imported to the UK for a few months.

Do not buy on Nathan Road.

Suggest
Union Laservision – Princes Building – Central
Universal Audio and Vision – IFC Mall
Fortress or Broadway – Times Square and Harbour City.

Hotel – Money no object

Four Seasons with Harbour View and Executive club package – great breakfast and snacks all day – unlimited drink !

Views from the lounge on 43rd floor breathtaking from outside balcony.

Infinity pool and huge bubbling pool in the leisure centre unbelievable.

Visit to the Peak is a must – take the bus – sit upstairs on left hand side – white knuckle ride for a few pence. Take the tram back down.

Star Ferry – my preferred mode of transport across the bay – totally adictive.

There is little bar/restaurant on the roof of the Discovery Bay ferry terminal for cheap food/drink.

Peking duck is a must at the Peking Garden at Pacific Place – carved at your table by waiter wearing white gloves !

American food – Dan ryans- Harbour City or Pacific Place.

Nice grill – Jaspas – Staunton Street.

UK bound flight leave late at night after 11, we usually eat in town rather than at the airport even given F/J catering you could wait an hour or more after take off for food – you could be very hungry by that time, this flight is a good one for sleeping !

Any more info will be obliged to supply , heading there myself end of March BA First.
