Every girl loves shopping… Welcome to Mongkok..

Langham Place Shopping Mall
Langham Place Mall, the latest landmark of Mongkok, has become one of the hottest hangouts in town. The 15-storey complex also contains a cinema of six houses, providing ultimate entertainment in one single place. It features over 300 shops and restaurants, including the luxury department store Seibu. From fashion labels to casual wear, to accessories and electronics, it can satisfy every shopper’s needs.

The mall can be roughly divided into two parts: the lower levels are mainly occupied by famous labels and popular fashion chain stores while Spiral, from Levels 8 to 11, is a trendy zone comprising over 100 small boutiques offering the latest Japanese fashion, limited edition sports shoes and collectibles, toys and unique accessories. Too much to see at a time? No worries, as all shops are open till late.

Langham Place Shopping Mall also embraces delicacies from around the world on the roof-level and the fourth floor. On the roof-level, you can choose to indulge yourself with the best selection of restaurants in town and enjoy a delicious meal under the stars of the digital sky. On the fourth floor is a food court with a cosy environment providing fantastic dining options. From famous local desserts to Asian dishes, you are always spoilt for choices.

Night Bazaars and Ladies Market
[Sai Yeung Choi Street; Fa Yuen Street ; Tung Choi Street]

If modern-style malls don’t satisfy your shopping desire, the Retail Market in Mongkok will complete your shopping adventure in Hong Kong.

For electronic goods, look no further than Sai Yeung Choi Street. On both sides of the street, 80% of the shops are electronic goods shops, and the rest are mainly casual wear chain stores. Here you may notice something interesting – electronic goods chain stores open several branches along this street. This indicates how poplar Sai Yeung Chi Street is and why it is the perfect place to shop for electronic goods.

The bustling Tung Choi Street, also known as the Ladies Market and packed with stalls, offers a variety of goods from clothing and accessories, to stationery and toys. You may also choose Chinese style souvenirs, such as chopsticks and tablemats for your loved ones. But don’t visit there too early as most stalls open at noon and close late at night at around eleven o’clock.

Fa Yuen Street is the place to experience how local people live. The middle of the street is crammed with two rows of stalls selling an extensive range of daily necessities, from towels to tooth brushes, curtains to fabrics, fresh fruits to funny gadgets, and everything is sold at an affordable price.

Mongkok Computer Centre
Although Mongkok Computer Centre cannot provide you with a spacious environment to shop in, it can furnish you with all you need in this computer age. This includes basic computer components or IT reference books, digital cameras, MP3 players as well as any other gadgets that lead you to the digital world.

Although computers, notebooks and computer components usually come with a guarantee, most of them cover Hong Kong only. So do remember to check with the sales representative if the guarantee covers your homeland.

Golden Plaza
With over 100 shops specializing in wedding supplies, Golden Plaza is a one-stop centre for organizing your big day. From wedding gowns to invitation cards, all sorts of wedding necessities are available here.

Nowadays, Hong Kong people still keep many of the Chinese wedding traditions. For example, during the wedding, apart from wearing western wedding gowns, local brides also wear Chinese traditional gowns, red in colour and decorated with gold and silver threads. So even if you are just wandering around the plaza, you can experience the fusion of East and West.

Kwong Wa Street
Hold your breath for the huge selection of models you will find in Kwong Wa Street. Here you can choose your favourite pre-designed model cars, planes or boats. Or if you would like to show a bit more of your personality, you may also tailor-make your own model according to your requirements.

Want something livelier than a static display model? In Kwong Wa Street, remote control cars, boats, aeroplanes and even tanks are all waiting for you. War game equipment stores are also concentrated in Kwong Wa Street.

Victory Avenue
When you choose a souvenir for your loved ones, don’t forget to pick one for your little dogs or cats at home. Along Victory Avenue lie around 20 pet shops offering a full spectrum of pet supplies ranging from tasty snacks to the most updated pet fashion and wildly funny toys.

There is also a special pet café called Bullmania, where pets are welcome. Their customers are mostly dog owners. It is a hot place for dog lovers to linger and exchange their pet keeping tips. Although you may not have a pet to bring along, it will still be great fun to enjoy a cappuccino while watching dogs and cats hanging out with their friends.

Olympian City
Olympian City is located just next to the Olympic MTR station. The 800,000 sq. ft. shopping and entertainment complex comprises Olympian City 1 and 2, providing a mixture of different types of shops and entertainment, including cinemas, bowling centre, boutiques and jewellers.

Outside Olympian City 2, there is an open piazza, where events and mini-concerts are held. Sometimes for important football matches a giant video wall will be set up and fans will be encouraged to enjoy the match and cheer for their team.

Trendy Zone
Named after its distinguishing features, Trendy Zone is a shopping centre dedicated to youngsters. It is crammed with all types of trendy stuff, ranging from Japanese cartoon character products to local designer collections, from the newest fashions to accessories. It opens from noontime until around eleven o’clock at night.

Since the shops in the shopping centre are of similar kinds, the same item may be found in several different shops, and at different prices. So you’d better compare prices beforehand. Also, corridors and shops are small and narrow, and crowded with people, so remember to keep your belongings close.

Richmond Commercial Centre
No matter whether you are a trendy teenager or a ‘kidult’, Richmond Commercial Centre has what it takes to keep you there for a day. From the basement to the 3rd floor, it is packed with shops selling the most updated Japanese and American toys, comic-related products, action figures and trading cards.

The distinguishing feature of the centre is that there are a number of stores, where the entire shop is occupied by dozens of capsule toy vending machines. Everyday after school hours, it becomes a paradise for students. Putting a coin into the capsule toy vending machine is a fun way to test your luck.

Sino Centre
Sino Centre is another hot place for young people in Mongkok. It is divided into two parts. From basement to 3/F, it is a shopping centre. In the 90’s, this place was so famous for selling photos of celebrities that the amount of sales of the photos were taken as an indicator of their popularity. Now, it is the center for CD, DVD, Japanese comics and magazines, as well as toys and action figures.

Above the shopping centre is a commercial building, however, there is more than offices here. In each storey, you’ll find different shops selling bakery equipment, models and accessories. If you’re tired, there is also a massage centre for your relaxation.

Climate of Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s climate is sub-tropical, tending towards temperate for nearly half the year. During November and December there are pleasant breezes, plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures. Many people regard these as the best months of the year. January and February are more cloudy, with occasional cold fronts followed by dry northerly winds. It is not uncommon for temperatures to drop below 10 C in urban areas. The lowest temperature recorded at the Observatory is 0 C, although sub-zero temperatures and frost occur at times on high ground and in the New Territories.

March and April can also be very pleasant although there are occasional spells of high humidity. Fog and drizzle can be particularly troublesome on high ground which is exposed to the southeast, and air traffic and ferry services are occasionally disrupted because of reduced visibility.

May to August are hot and humid with occasional showers and thunderstorms, particularly during the mornings. Afternoon temperatures often exceed 31 C whereas at night, temperatures generally remain around 26 C with high humidity. There is usually a fine dry spell in July which may possibly last for one to two weeks, or for even longer in some years.

July to September are the months during which Hong Kong is most likely to be affected by tropical cyclones, although gales are not unusual at any time between May and November. On average, about 31 tropical cyclones form in the western North Pacific or China Seas every year, and about half of them reach typhoon strength (maximum winds of 118 kilometers per hour or more).

When a tropical cyclone is about 700 to 1000 kilometers southeast of Hong Kong, the weather is usually fine and exceptionally hot, but isolated thunderstorms sometimes occur in the evenings. If the centre comes closer to Hong Kong, winds will increase and rain can become heavy and widespread. Heavy rain from tropical cyclones may last for a few days and subsequent land slips and flooding sometimes cause considerably more damage than the winds.

The mean annual rainfall ranges from around 1300 millimeters at Waglan Island to more than 3000 millimeters in the vicinity of Tai Mo Shan. About 80 percent of the rain falls between May and September. The wettest month is August, when rain occurs about four days out of seven and the average monthly rainfall at the Observatory is 391.4 millimeters. The driest month is January, when the monthly average is only 23.4 millimeters and rain falls only about six days a month.

Severe weather phenomena that can affect Hong Kong include tropical cyclones, strong winter monsoon winds, and thunderstorms with associated squalls that are most frequent from April to September. Waterspouts and hailstorms occur infrequently, while snow and tornadoes are rare.

So travel to Hong Kong that suits your requirement along with its climatic conditions thereby ensuring you a pleasurable journey.
