Tsim Sha Tsui
Hong Kong is not big, but Tsim Sha Tsui is not small, and a day of strolling is over. Tsim Sha Tsui is located next to Hung Hom Railway Station and is the first stop for tourists coming to Hong Kong. If Hong Kong Island represents Hong Kong's wealthy business district, then from the north of Tsim Sha Tsui to the boundary of Shenzhen is Hong Kong's civilian living area. In terms of the distribution of foreigners, there are mostly European and American foreigners on Hong Kong Island, and Southeast Asians account for the majority of foreigners on the Kowloon Peninsula.
Shopping malls abound here, covering a wide range of grades from high to low, and it is not uncommon to see tourists returning with suitcases in tow at the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. If you have a tight schedule for coming to Hong Kong, then it is enough to buy a watch to come to Tsim Sha Tsui. The most abundant watch brands are in the Harbour City area, and there are many watch and second-hand watch dealers along the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. You need to do your homework before purchasing, and you can go to a reputable watch store with confidence.
Harbour city
Harbour City is one of Hong Kong's largest shopping malls, consisting of Ocean Terminal, Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel, Ocean Centre and Gateway Tower. The overall structure of Harbour City resembles a boat, and the interior of the mall is close to the sea with many floor-to-ceiling glasses, and the view from the outside is very beautiful. Star Cruises is often moored at the nearby pier, and many tourists stop here to take photos. There are more than 450 shops of all kinds, and it's almost impossible to visit them all in one day. Among the first-line brands, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Piaget, IWC and other brands have set up counters in Harbour City, and there are also well-known watch stores such as Sambo, Emperor and Prince in Ocean Terminal, which are positioned as high-end.
It should be noted that you will not get too much discount when buying a watch at the counter, and you don't need to worry too much about the quality. Although the price of the meter bank is highly preferential, there is a difference between parallel goods and licensed goods, and it is necessary to carefully ask the sales staff.
The mall is open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m
1881 Hall of Heritage, 1881
Directly across from Lane Crawford is 1881, adjacent to Harbour City. Originally the site of the Hong Kong Marine Police Headquarters, the building is designed with a sunken plaza with European characteristics, which is in stark contrast to the modern Harbour City. Because the shops in 1881 are all top brands, many travelogues are not optimistic about this place, saying that "there is nothing to play", but in fact it is not. Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, and Piaget are located on the first floor of 1881, and on the F1 and F2 floors, there are also brands such as Vacheron Constantin and Blancpain. In addition to buying luxury goods, the unique architectural style here is suitable for photography, and the time ball tower on the top floor is very literary.
The mall is open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m
The Peninsula Mall
The Peninsula is the oldest surviving hotel in Hong Kong, with more than 80 luxury stores located on the B to M floors of the hotel. Top watch counters such as Cartier, Franck Muller and Roger Dubuis are located on the G floor of the mall, as are luxury watch retailers The Watch Gallery and Dickson Watches. Luxury stores are just a small part of The Peninsula's business, so why not head to the lobby for an English afternoon tea after shopping.
The mall is open from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m
