Plan for the Evening & Night : Outlet Shopping at Ap Lei Chau (鴨脷洲) & Mongkok (旺角)
How to go Ap Lei Chau (鴨脷洲) : From Central Bus Terminal take the bus 590
Hong Kong is most famous for shopping. And today, my plan is to visit the outlet heaven part of Hong Kong, Ap Lei Chau.
After visit to this place, my learning experience is if Prada, Burberry, Coach is very expensive for you and you never think of purchasing the handbag, then you can skip this outlet area. Reason if a Prada normal price is RM5,000++. Even after a 50% discount, the bag will still be RM2,500++.
Please consider your budget before you visit.
For those who is not afraid of credit card debt, please continue to get a full detail of outlet shopping in Ap Lei Chau.
This is the bus stop at the terminal. You can use the Octopus card to pay the bus ride ticket. The bus depart every 30 minutes. And in case you wonder where should you got off the bus, well the last stop is where we want to go. So get off when the bus stop.
The 2 highlighted yellow spot is the terminal bus and the Prada space warehouse.
Once you reach here, you need to take note on the Marina Square. That is the location of Prada Space Warehouse. Prada Space Warehouse is official Prada outlet. Out of season item is sales here. Discount is about 30%-50%. But some people claim that you can even find item with 70% discount. Male and female clothing, shoes, leather wallet, handbag and even perfume.
I did not took photo in here because it is not allowed.
After finish your shopping at Prada warehouse, we are not done with the outlet shopping.
Another outlet shopping here is the Horizon Plaza. There is 30 floor in this building and you can find furniture, kids toys, books and branded clothing outlet here.
To reach, first walk towards the bus terminal again. Continue the other direction of the Marina Square.
From the bus terminal, follow the yellow highlight in the map above.
If you see this Shell sign, you are in the right direction. However the Horizon Plaza is quite far. You will need to walk 5-10 minutes more to reach Horizon Plaza. Luckily there is only one road. So you can just follow the road and continue till you see the building.
Finally reach the Horizon Plaza.
Above is all the list of outlet available here. There are more but is mainly furniture and kids toy. Only the above outlet is selling fashion related things.
If you are going to this place on a normal day, you better leave around 4pm. Because too late take the bus, and you might stuck in the Central traffic jam with the office worker leaving the office.
Dinner for the night, is roast goose rice. This shop is at Central area.
When I reach the shop, I see the Michelin 2014 awards here. They just got it for the year 2014.
One of the best roast goose rice I ever had.
After this nice roast goose rice, return to Kowloon area. And go to Mongkok area.
The area in Mongkok is famous for a few different district. Such as goldfish street, ladies street, sneaker street etc. All these street still maintain the street identity but it is slowly losing that appeal.
In fact after a walk here, I find it is very tourist spot. Mostly shopper are the tourist. One thing need to mention though, the Mongkok on Sunday night, is full of street performer. Some is really good.
