Yue Hwa Chinese Products Emporium
This enormous place, with seven floors of ceramics, furniture, souvenirs and clothing, has absolutely everything the souvenir-hunting tourist could possibly want, as well as bolts of silk, herbs, clothes, porcelain, luggage, umbrellas and kitchenware. There’s also a branch in Tsim Sha Tsui on Kowloon Park Dr that’s entered from Peking Rd.

Zhaojia Chaowai Market
This huge four-storey warehouse is packed to the gills with traditional Chinese furniture - from opium beds to barrel stools to ornately carved side tables and carpets. Prices are reasonable, but remember to factor in shipping costs (which vendors can arrange). Many stallholders say their wares are genuine Ming or Qing items, but take it all with a pinch of yán (salt). The 4th floor contains ceramics and other antiques.
The stalls get fancier the higher the floor, and prices rise accordingly. The market is located on the southern part of Dongsanhuan Nanlu at Panjiaqiao, a short distance north of Beijing Curio City.

Chinese Arts & Crafts
Mainland-owned CAC is probably the best place in Hong Kong to buy quality bric-a-brac and other Chinese trinkets; it’s positively an Aladdin’s cave of souvenirs. On Hong Kong Island there are also branches in Central (Ground fl, Asia Standard Tower, 59 Queen's Rd Central) and Tsim Sha Tsui (1st fl, Star House, 3 Salisbury Rd), and there’s also a huge one in Wan Chai (Lower block, China Resources Bldg, 26 Harbour Rd).

Friendship Store
Can't stand crowds? Hopeless at haggling? The Friendship Store is a great place to pick up last-minute souvenirs at fixed prices, and the lack of crowds makes it possible to browse at your leisure. Prices are reasonable and give you an idea if you plan to haggle elsewhere. It has a good bookshop, carpets, antiques, an ATM and a money exchange.

Hui Jin Department Store
This often-overlooked store is worth a visit for sales on Chinese and foreign brand names; the basement has a decent supermarket with some imported items. Next door is Shanghai No 6 Department Store (Dìliù Bǎihuò; 第六百货), which is popular with the locals and thus usually crowded.

Friendship Store
The Friendship Store is overpriced, and the service is notoriously offhand, but the books and magazines section is worth a look (you can pick up overseas newspapers here) and the supermarket has a fair selection of wine and foreign food.
