    Another great area to explore and shop is Sham Shui Po – check out our detailed guide and shopping map here.

    (This post was originally published in September 2013 and updated in February 2017)

    One of the wonderful things about shopping in Hong Kong is the small pockets of streets that are all dedicated to one type of product or room of the house.  It certainly makes life easier in this otherwise crazy city to know where to go if you need new lights, kitchenware, curtains or fancy dress outfits.

    Shopping on Shanghai Street
    Shopping on Shanghai Street

    We took a stroll around Shanghai Street in Kowloon which is famous for being the place to shop if you are looking for anything for the kitchen.  Pots, pans, utensils, knives, chopping boards, rolling pins and baking supplies, Shanghai Street is a cook’s delight with almost every item imaginable. Even if you don’t really need anything, you won’t leave a shopping trip empty handed and browsing is almost as fun as buying!  Here is our low-down on how to get there and where to shop.

    Directions

    If you are heading to Shanghai Street by public transport, the closest MTR station is Yau Ma Tei which is on the Kwung Tong and Tseun Wan lines.

    When you arrive at Yau Ma Tei, leave the MTR by exit B2 and then turn right and right again onto Shanghai Street. You will walk past a red brick building which looks rather incongruous surrounded by shops and mid-rise apartment blocks, but it’s actually a heritage site and the engineer’s office of a former pumping station.  It’s preserved along with the Yau Ma Tei Theatre and both are worth taking a brief look at. Parallel to Shanghai Street is Reclamation Street where there is a large wholesale fruit market at the junction of Waterloo Road.  This series of ramshackle old buildings with bustling fruit sellers is interesting to explore.
