Central
As the political and financial centre of Hong Kong, Central has the highest per capita income in Hong Kong. With countless large shopping malls, restaurants and high-end brand stores, it is a veritable shopping paradise. Queen's Road is lined with countless high-rise buildings with minimal spacing, and mobile phone navigation is easily paralyzed, and the famous Bank of China Tower and Lan Kwai Fong are nearby. On Filipino maid holidays, they will go shopping and playing in Central together, and it is no exaggeration to say that the number of people is shoulder to shoulder. There are countless top international watch brands in Central, such as Cartier, Piaget, Patek Philippe, etc.
The Central MTR station is home to the famous large shopping malls Landmark Plaza and Prince Tower, and is also the interchange station of the Tsuen Wan Line and the Island Line, as well as the Tung Chung Line and the Airport Express. If you want to experience the ferry, you can walk 10 minutes to the Central Pier, which is very convenient to the outlying islands and Kowloon. It should be noted that the shopping malls in the Central business district closed early, and it is not recommended to go at night except for Lan Kwai Fong. In addition, the air conditioning temperature of all shopping malls in Hong Kong is turned on at 16 degrees all year round, so tourists who are afraid of cold can bring an air-conditioned shirt to avoid catching a cold.
Land mark
Just up from the Central MTR station is The Landmark Plaza, which was built in 1904 and is home to some of the world's most famous brands, along with The Peninsula Hotel. The Landmark consists of four parts, namely the Plaza Atrium, the Risan Building, the Chater Building and the Prince Building. The distribution of brands is relatively even, and there are many top watch brands such as Lange & Söhne, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, etc., as well as fashion watch brands such as F.P. Zunner, Ralph Lauren, and Van Cleef & Arpels. It is worth mentioning that the Cartier Asia Tower store is a museum-like two-storey flagship store, and it is also one of the few stores that can sell vintage Cartier watches. In addition, the only Panerai boutique in Hong Kong is located in the same Prince Building as Cartier.
In addition to shopping, there are also 4 Michelin-starred restaurants in The Landmark to try. If there are too many brands to see, you can go to Dickson Watch & Jewelry on the G/F floor of the atrium, which is officially authorized by the brand owner and represents many world-famous watch brands. In general, Landmark has more high-end watch brands, with relatively high prices and guaranteed quality.

Pacific place
Often considered part of Central, Admiralty is located between Wan Chai and Central, and is once home to the British Navy Yard and the world-famous shopping mall Pacific Place, which is considered to be the most exclusive mall in Hong Kong.

IFC Mall
Among all the films and television productions related to Hong Kong, the high-rise buildings of the Hong Kong International Finance Centre must be the most photographed landmarks. IFC Mall has 4 floors and covers an area of 70,000 square meters. The mall as a whole has a strong modern atmosphere, with white walls and floor-to-ceiling glass, which has a very commercial atmosphere. Because it is located in the heart of the Central Ferry Pier and the Central Business District, it is a must pass from the Central MTR station to the Central Ferry Pier, so there is an endless stream of tourists.
IFC MALL has a long list of watch shops, and although it is not as old as a traditional shopping mall like The Landmark Mall, there are many high-end watch brands.

Lange & Söhne and Jaeger-LeCoultre, there are also comprehensive watch stores such as Sample Watch & Jewellery that compete with specialty stores in the mall. The storefronts are mainly concentrated in an area on the L1-L2 floors, and it doesn't take long to find them.
The mall is located next to the Upper Central Ferry Pier at the Island MTR station, with convenient transportation conditions and a 10-minute walk from the flyover to The Landmark Plaza.
