Causeway Bay

Everyone will tell you – tourists and locals alike – that this is the city’s shopping haven, especially after it overtook NYC’s Fifth Avenue as the priciest retail area in the world. Though for an outsider, a first glance can be overwhelming; what with the sea of people traversing up and down at a breakneck speed. But once you get a little acquainted (or befriend a local to show you the ropes), you’ll realise that this mammoth collection of malls and stores has a host of hidden treasure troves waiting to be discovered. Get shopping.
