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

by Rodney Charles L'Huillier · Published January 22, 2018 · Updated July 27, 2019

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
