From shopping malls, department stores, trendy shops, street markets, theme shopping streets and Chinese authentics, you can find everything from the latest designer fashions and electronic gadgets to best value antiques and collectibles. However, I recommend you to partonage the shops displaying a "Q" logo, because they must pass stringent annual quality assessments showing that they provide clearly displayed prices, display clearly product information, ensure superb customer service.

The Quality Tourism Service Scheme is organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, which also provides assistance for enquiries about pruchases from shops and restaurant accredited by the OTS Scheme.
