Hong Kong’s markets, malls and boutiques provide one of the world’s most intense shopping experiences. The best deals are on clothing, jewellery and pirated gear, while the sheer range of mobile phones and electronic goods is staggering – even if prices are not that wonderful, there’s nowhere else in the world you can directly compare so many brands. It’s also a good place to look for Chinese art, both ancient and modern.
