Shopping in Mongkok Hong Kong

Shopping in Mongkok Hong Kong

There is more than a bit of the Wild West in Mongkok but this is the place for rock-bottom deals on anything from fashion to mobile phones and electrical appliances. This is another hot spot for digital cameras and videos. Take the MTR E2 exit and walk into Yau Shing Commercial Centre on your left. There are six floors selling cameras, digital videos, DVD players and other appliances. On the 16th floor you have Global Audio, 14/F Veto, 13/F Radio Unison, 10/F Century AV Centre, 9/F Cam2, 8/F Super King , 7/F International and 6/F Yau Shing. Prices vary but do bargain stoutly. Some products here do not have warranties so do check this aspect as well.

If you’re in a rush, pop into a Broadway or Fortress in Sai Yeung Choi Street and you’ll certainly find your gadget. Or try Wing Shing Photo Supplies Co. Next shops on Hong Kong shopping guide.
