Hi Taurus,
We went for the deluxe room @ HKD 6400 for 8d7n. Its under the ascott group. The place is a service apartment kind rather than hotel. No lavish lobby etc but its pretty decent-looking, not those slimy kinds. To use the lift, you need to key in a password, so its sort-of a security. But there is always someone at the reception counter. My room is at the 12 storey, and there is only 2 units (another one just beside mine).
My pics are with hubby, hopefully I can show them to you tomorrow. And for us, they usually come to 'make' the room around 5.30pm-6pm. Never saw her except once when we came back to put our shopping bags at around 5pm.
Shopping wise, (from what i can still recall) we went to
a) Mongkok - Fa yuen street for sport shoes or accessories. We bought 3 pairs of shoes there. Its a whole stretch of sport shops on both sides. Prices are quite ok and range is plenty for you to choose (nike, adidas, puma, reebok, lesport, new balance etc).
b) Mongkok - Sai yueng choi south street where its filled with activities. Its like a normal road but when we were there during the weekends, its kinda closed for vehicles and predestarian only. We even see youngster doing performance art in the middle of the road and people crowded around them to view. The shops / complexs are along the road where you can just cross over and go up to the complex. Plenty of eatries along this streets also. You can find krisy kreme at the end of the street. If you are into smelly tofu, there is 1 stall near the end also.
c) Mongkok - Women's street, is basically like a pasar malam. They are stalls, not shop, just like our pasar malam with those blue-white cover and things hanging all around and on table etc. We didnt buy much there, only some small interesting accessories.
d) Causeway bay - Sogo, its a huge shopping centre, something like isetan. I think more than 7 or 8 storey. We went there on a wkend/PH and its really crowded. Everywhere is squeezy and 1st time i saw people 'queueing' for lift, they got a queue line for lift on the ground floor and it extended until out of the shopping centre. Yes, it is this crowded. And don't worry about the lift Q, there's escalators, infact 4, 2 up and 2down at both ends.
e) Tung chung - Citygate, its just beside tung chung mtr. You can visit it while going to lantau island/ np 360. Its like a shopping centre with alot of shops e.g. timberland, giordano, nike, nautica,armani exchange etc. If not wrong, its 3 or 4 storey. The items there are marked down quite alot. Hubby felt that these items are like 'leftovers' from some previous sale or something. Reason, there is no size for hubby for some items. We ever went into a shop and the assistant told us there is no more S size for this whole rank. duhz. But on the whole, the place is quite ok. Nice item with great prices.
f) Causeway bag - Time Square, its a nicey shopping centre with lots of international top-end brands like zara, mark & spencers, armani exchange, gucci, etc. We were in zara and everything is in a mess. Most of the clothes are not folded, looked like heap and heaps of clothes. Everyone inside is like grabbing. I forgot how much but hubby bought 3 shirts from there also. The shopping place is like paragon.
g) Mongkok, those shopping complex around the MTR, cant remember their names but they are indicated on the tourism map. Pretty nice places to shop for items. They are like those shops in far east. Small small shops but always can find nice and unique stuffs.
h) Causeway bay, the whole area is actually a shopping district. The building beside sogo (forgot the name) is also nice for ladies accessories. Shop are like far east type but items not really cheap. Saw a number of shops selling gowns there, suitable for DnD, Rom, or attending wedding dinner.
i) Causeway bay - World trade centre, its doing renovation now but the shops are still open. Saw some shops having renovation sales. Its just 2-3 storey only. You can find honeymoon desserts there.
j) TST - Harbourcity shopping area, its a pretty big area. I think its 3 or 4 big shopping complex jointed together. Can find quite a number of international brand like gucci, kate spade etc, but quite scattered. Something like vivocity but much bigger than vivo.
k) TST - Silvercord centre, just opposite the harbourcity area, a normal shopping complex. there's a brikenstock shop at the ground level, pretty crowded. We didnt check that out as not interested in brikenstock. The 4th level, there's a I.T. sale shop, plenty of clothes priced quite lowly. You can find this shop at citygate as well. Carries lots of ladies clothes, shoes, boots, accessories etc. Pretty popular shop.
l) TST - Sogo, you can visit on your way to avenue of stars as you will passby it at the underpass. We saw a longchamp counter just outside, along the underpass to avenue of stars, if you interested.
I guess the major shopping areas in HK are causeway bay, TST and mongkok. You may want to explore the areas around those complexs that is mentioned above as we did went around the streets and buildings, apart from these 'famous & regular' ones.
Hope these are useful.
