Randomly placed in the Government, Financial and Banking areas are many many opportunities for anybody who wants to shop or even window shop. Among the main shopping areas in these districts are the Galleria, Alexandra House and Prince's Building not to mention the IFC Mall.

Designer outlets and world famous fashion designer shops are found in abundance here. Close to the center "The Lanes", Li Yuen Street East and Li Yuen Street West are an experience not to be missed. Here you will find all things both expensive and inexpensive. Among the many items on sale here you will see mainly watches, clothing, shoes, luggage and adornments. Located betwixt Queen's Road Central and Des Voeux Road Central is the market place which is open every day from 10 in the morning until 7 in the everything.
