Hi guys,
I'm planning to visit hong kong next year during CNY period. Do you think shops will be open on the 1st & 2nd day of CNY?
From what i heard is that shopping malls do open during CNY, just want to confirm with you all.
Dun wanna risk going there and got no place to see, shop and eat..

Thanks  I just dig out my email yesterday & its HKD$ 360/night which is equivalent to RM 145/ night  but one downside is that they only accepts CASH

Pay 1 night as deposit, they have a local bank account in Public Bank & CIMB if not mistaken then the rest pay in full when arrive there  QUOTE(Scopio @ Sep 24 2012, 08:22 PM) izzit hk stuff are kinda exp?? Depends on what stuffs are you referring to  if you're saying food then yes, slightly more expensive

You can try 'Ladies Street' aka 女人街 in Mongkok which is similar with the Petaling Street here in KL but the stuffs are mostly girls stuffs & there are some of the things that you can't find it here  good place for souvenir as well

If going ladies street u will pass by the sneaker street as well as the famous mongkok electronic street... Like other forumers said depends stuff, fashion stuff is cheaper but see what brand. Electronics I find more expensive.

But have to take so much cash with you when you go there...

Day time can go Tsim Sha Zhui, the harbour view, then can shop around there.. The peak go at night, better scenary. mongkok can go anytime.

One full day, morning try australia dairy co @ Jordan then walk down towards tsim sha tsui for shopping. Harbour view @ tst for branded shopping. Evening avenue of stars + 1881 heritage then. 8pm catch symp of light then head straight to peak. Come down for dessert. Next day head to citygate outlet for cheap out of season stuff then fly back home. 15 mins / hkd60 by cab to Hk airport.
