Shopping in Hong Kong: Mall vs Airport?
Prices in Bonjour and Sasa are cheaper than in department stores for sure. For the exact same brands and items, prices will be the same in department stores and at the airport. Hong Kong is known as a shopping paradise because for almost all retail items, except for cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol, the city does not impose import duty and sales tax. This can add up to huge savings for high end products. I personally like shopping in NYC as much as in Hong Kong even though NYC comes with 8.875% sales tax because there is a limited "middle market" in Hong Kong when it comes to shoes and apparel. You can find more high end fashion brands in NYC, at the same time I find many affordable merchandise that offers both quality and good value. In Hong Kong most good quality clothes and shoes are more expensive as they are all made in western Europe and Japan, or it's not worth getting something dirt cheap that offers no value.
What's the best shopping place in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong is a city of 7m habitants so the opportunities to shop are basically limitless.The biggest mall in Hong Kong is Harbour City, but in my opinion it is too chaotic and too many shops are crammed along the slim alleys. The experience can be really stressful because of the huge touristy crowds flowing in from the nearby Cruise piers.My favorite mall is Pacific Place in Admiralty. Architecturally, relaxing shapes and colors dominate the environment. The alleys are wide and airy. The shops are all top quality.
Is HKD 700 a day enough for dining and shopping in Hong Kong?
Stay in a budget hostel, last time I stayed in Dragonhostel (see link below) which was simple, clean and affordable (about HKD 250 a night). Eat as the locals, there are great breakfast places, where you can order a set breakfast (until about 10am) for about HKD20-30. Eat lunch and dinner also at places frequented by locals and you'll be paying around HKD30-40 for a meal and drinks. Must try the local cakes as well, go for a tea break and try a pineapple bun or egg tart. For transport, get yourself an Octopus card (don't get the tourist one) and you can use it to take the MTR, buses and ferries (see link below). So, about HKD350 for meals and overnight, about HKD50 - 100 for transport and you are left with about HKD250 for shopping. You can get good bargains on clothes in Hong Kong, if you search well and ask around :) It all depends on your priorities, you can go budget or expensive! enjoy yourself!
Why does online shopping, like Amazon, not exist in Hong Kong?
The economy of Hong Kong is dominated by developers and other large conglomerates owned and managed mainly by super wealthy Hong Kong families.The developer-owned conglomerates control many global brands in Hong Kong and sometimes also greater China via exclusive distribution rights. They can close those deals because without access to retail space, many of these brands would not be able to open shops in Hong Kong.For example, in Hong Kong, brands like Coca-Cola, IKEA, and Starbucks have exclusive distribution agreements with Hong Kong-based property-centered conglomerates like Swire and Jardines. Confusingly enough some of these grouos are headquartered in London and legally incorporated in Bermuda but they their business interest are heavily in Hong Kong.So, to answer your question, Amazon does “exist” in Hong Kong. But, you can find maybe 1–3% of the selection that you have in the U.S. where antitrust laws prevent the kind of cornered retail market that we see in Hong Kong. Certainly, you would not be able to ship from Amazon anything that would involve bypassing the Hong Kong distributors i.e. the mega-developers and their conglomerates.

Clothes shopping - Shanghai, Beijing or Hong Kong?
You'll find them in all three cities, but it's definitely better shopping in Hong Kong. And more quality control too.
Which city offers a better shopping experience: Hong Kong or Singapore?
Hongkong, for the following reasons: Here are my takes:1) Gateway to China: more international brands: Based on the fact that the top international brands generally enter the asian market via HK thanks to it being their gateway to Asia, they've already got the designer goods down. You've also got Net a Porter laying some roots down, and mega giant Lane Crawford bringing in some of the best curated items from around the world thanks to former creative director Sarah Rutson. However, this really extends to beyond designer goods too -- since you have other players like COS and Stylenanda really branching out their presence here as well. 2)More fashionistas:Based on the number of bloggers that have reached international stardom that live in HK (A pair and a Spare, Tina Leung, Christing, JJ Acuna) all who have reached other shores, and have become examples of the higher risk taking that's happening in HK. Campaigns they've been involved in include Club Monaco, Net-a-Porter, Calvin Klein and more. 3) More openness to independent designers and mixing:Just perusing HK stores in Sheung Wan, you will see boutiques that have both international brands like Tibi, Shaurouk, and Cameo, as well as other brands from HK designers like Doris Q, who owns the boutique Tikka. The great mix of high low is embraced well here, much like Korea, NY and Paris.That being said -- shop in HK!
