Visitors are still coming to Hong Kong to go shopping despite the fact that the cost of living in the territory has risen above that of most other countries in the world. The famed electronic goods of Nathan Road, for example, are by no means cheap any more and when you consider the high possibility of some form of rip-off, you are probably best advised to buy your cameras and other gadgets at home. What is special about Hong Kong, however, is the enormous range of goods on offer - and all in such a tiny area of land. And some things are indeed cheap, particularly clothes , silk , jewellery , Chinese arts and crafts , some computer accessories and pirated goods . Many of these are made in the People's Republic. As a general rule you'll find that the farther you are from touristy Tsimshatsui, the cheaper your shopping becomes. Shops stay open late and are open daily. In Tsimshatsui, Causeway Bay and Wanchai, general hours are 10am-10pm; in Central it's 10am-7pm. For more detailed shopping listings, consult the HKTA shopping guide.
