Asia's Shopping Capitals Part 2
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong has more to offer shoppers than just electronic gadgets and cheap knock offs these days and visitors will find street vendors, designer boutiques, and mega malls filled with everything from traditional items such as jade to silk, in addition to the most cutting-edge technology wares. Places such as Li Yuen East and West is where you can find local fashion designer boutiques while the lanes of historic Stanley Market, are favored for their collectibles like porcelain vases, silk garments, and Chinese artwork. Not forgetting also shopping havens of Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay. Another must visit place while in Hong Kong is The Jade Market in Yau Ma with 400 stalls displaying the green gems that symbolize long life and good health.
Airfares start from SGD$350 and above with both Malaysian Airlines and Thai Airways consistently providing the lowest available fares.
Seoul, South Korea
There is a saying in Seoul that there are more shopping centers in Seoul than you can afford to spend anymore. Which we feel is adequately true due to the whole array of goods on sale as well as the massive shopping areas that can be found in Seoul. Places such as Dongdaemun, Namdaemun, and Myeongdong are a shoppaholic’s dream destination. If you are in the pursuit of a bargain then look no further to Itaewon or Apkujong. Should electronics goods be your vice then Yongsan Electronics Market should quench your desire for electronics. You should also check out Shinchon and Hwanghak-dong Flea Market for that something extra!
From Singapore, you can travel in directly to Seoul in several airlines and ticket prices are from SGD$450 and above.
