Shopping Hong Kong by MTR (for people who hate walking)

One of the beauties of Hong Kong is its well-developed transport system, in particular, the MTR. The MTR is fast and efficient, and a great way to get around the key shopping attractions. For those inclined to dislike walking, which includes me, here’s a guide designed for you, featuring the top shopping destinations nearest the main MTR stations!

OK, beat me up for being lazy, but honestly, the CBD areas of HK are really tiring places to do a lot of urban exploring. Up and down the stairs, constantly zigzagging through the hoards of people, it is taxing.

So, here’s how to do it by MTR with shopping destinations that are mere meters from the subway. Stay tuned for a future post where I’ll cover shopping by bus which is perhaps an even more leg friendly option.

The Key MTR Stations for Shopping in HK

Mong Kok – exit C3 – Langham Place – a modern multi-storey mall that features cafes, restaurants, several brand name chain stores. Of course, there are lots of markets in Mong Kok, but you’ll need to walk about 400m for Ladies Market and the nearby Sneaker Street.

Tsim Tsa Shui – exit H – iSquare – a large modern mall with cafes, dining, fashion, and beauty. Also has a cinema.
