Hongqiao International Pearl City
Popular with the local expats, the 2nd floor of this market has a smaller selection of freshwater and saltwater pearls than Amy Lin’s Pearls, but is worth a browse. It’s a relaxed atmosphere and you can bargain here. On the 1st floor there are clothes and golf gear, on the 3rd floor carpets and luggage.

Amy Lin’s Pearls
The most reliable retailer of pearls of all colours and sizes. Both freshwater pearls (from Y80), including prized black Zhèjiāng pearls (from Y3000), and saltwater pearls (from Y200) are available here. The staff speak English and will string your selection for you. They do jade and jewellery too.

Wangjia Docks Fabric Market
Those in the market for a luxurious silk quilt (comforter; 蚕丝被 ) should make the trek south to this fascinating neighbourhood, awash in tailors and fabric dealers. Quilts are sold by weight and size – figure on about Y650 for a queen-sized quilt weighing 2kg.

Ocean Optical
Both frames and lenses can be cheaper (in some case, much cheaper) in Hong Kong than what you would pay at home, and we do not know of a better optician in Hong Kong than Ocean Optical. There’s another branch in Central (Shop 326, 3rd floor, Ocean Centre, Harbour City, 3-9 Canton Rd).

South Bund Fabric Market
This old building with over 100 hundred stalls is similar to the Shiliupu Fabric Market, with an atmospheric location not far from the markets and tailoring shops along Dongjiadu Rd. It’s further out of the way, but more popular with expats.

Chinese Printed Blue Nankeen Exhibition Hall
The spectacle here of bolts of indigo cloth drying in the summer sun is gorgeous. Surly staff aside, focus on the delightful blue-and-white cotton fabric, shoes, slippers, blouses, qipao (cheongsam) and small cloth bags. Follow the signs down the alley.

Bossini
You'll find plenty of inexpensive, wearable, everyday threads here, in the same kind of cuts and styles as Gap or i.t. A good store for stocking up on T-shirts and other basics.

Lids
This is the place to come for headgear - from baseball caps begging to be turned back to front, to helmets for cyclists, rollerbladers and skateboarders.
