Harbour City
Located on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Harbour City is the largest shopping mall in Hong Kong, stretching from China Hong Kong City in the south to the Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui in the north, with 190,000 square metres of shopping space. Owned by the Wharf Group, a well-known Hong Kong conglomerate, Harbour City was completed in 1966 with the first Ocean Terminal and the entire Harbour City complex took shape in the 80s of the 20th century. Renovated and expanded, Harbour City continues to maintain its state-of-the-art planning and business philosophy, leading the fashion trends in Hong Kong and Asia. At present, Harbour City consists of five districts: Harbour Mall, Ocean Centre, Ocean Terminal, Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel Mall and Starlight City.
Harbour City combines shopping, dining, entertainment and sightseeing. According to statistics, a shopping mall in Harbour City accounts for about 7% of Hong Kong's retail sales, and 7 Hong Kong dollars for every HK$100 spent in Harbour City. There are more than 450 shops in Harbour City, including Louis. Louis Vuitton's largest flagship store in Asia, Chanel's flagship store, as well as international luxury brands such as Gucci, Prada and Hermès, as well as more than 320 beauty and makeup brands, as well as electronics, jewelry, watches, home furnishings and other categories. In 2013, Studio Ghibli's official boutique Acorn Republic opened in Harbour City, the first overseas branch of the Acorn Republic, selling products featuring characters from Ghibli animated films. Famous cartoons such as My Neighbor Totoro, Chihiro, and Witch Kiki are on display, and the interior of the store will bring you back to the world of Ghibli's animation. In 2015, Tokyo's trendy landmark Shibuya 109 opened its first overseas store in Harbour City, bringing Hong Kong to the forefront of Japan.

There is also an art gallery on the second floor of the Ocean Center, and there are many types of art exhibitions, making it a rare quiet place in the bustling harbour city. Located on the top floor of the Ocean Terminal on Level 6 of the Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel, Ocean Terminal offers 270-degree views of Victoria Harbour, and is now open to the public free of charge. In addition, there are observation decks on the second and fourth floors of the Ocean Center and the second floor of the Haiwei Shopping Mall.
Directions within Harbour City are clear and divided according to different shopping themes, but the staggered floors and elevators can still make it easy to get lost. To this end, the mall has developed a navigation app that visitors can scan and download by finding a QR code on any signage in the mall. The longitudinal and horizontal space of Harbour City is very large, and the longitudinal tour can still be achieved by elevator, while the horizontal space can only rely on walking, if you want to spend a day shopping for big-name goods, we recommend that you spend all your time in Harbour City. In addition, there are many tourist attractions in the vicinity of Harbour City, including the Star Ferry, Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, Hong Kong Cultural Centre and Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong Space Museum, Hong Kong Science Museum, Hong Kong Museum of History, Kowloon Park and A Symphony of Lights. The nearby transportation is convenient, with Star Ferry, Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station and double-decker buses extending in all directions.
