Local Life
Where Else to Shop in Central
Sumptuous temples to couture and conspicuous consumption prosper inside Central's swish shopping malls,
where you'll also find midrange clothing brands. Take your pick from the
Princes Building
(E3;
www.centralhk.com
; 10 Chater Rd; Central, exit K), the
Landmark
(E3;
www.centralhk.com
; 1 Pedder St;
Central, exit G) or the
IFC Mall
(E2;
www.ifc.com.hk
;
8 Finance St; Hong Kong, exit F).
Peddar
Building
(D3; 12 Peddar St, Central; Central, exit H) is particularly good for fine art, while
Stanley Street
(D3) in Central is the spot for quality cameras. For an only-in-Hong-Kong experience, visit
Li Yuen Street East
and West
(D2), two narrow alleyways that link Des Voeux Rd Central with Queen's Rd Central, for a jumble of
inexpensive clothing, handbags and jewellery.
