We came here to admire the huge towers, that are really impressive. You can acess the 'roof terrace' of the actual mall and look up at the towers. Although most of the shops here are quite luxurious, its a nice place to grab a tea/coffee. Just outside of the mall is exchange square which has some nice sculptures incuding one by Henry Moore.

One thing Hong Kong is not short of is shopping centres. This one is very centrally located, near the Star Ferry and above Hong Kong Airport Express Station and MTR. It covers 4 floors with mostly high end shopping, that seems to focus mainly on fashion, jewellery and cosmetics. There’s Prada, Kate Spade, Burberry, Coach, Tiffanys and Rolex but also a big Zara and Nine West. A large flagship Lane Crawford covers a couple of levels. Sportswear seems to be a bit of a gap here. Whilst there are a couple of shops like Sweaty Betty that do active wear, the big brand running shoes are missing. The Apple store is impressive, with glass walls that look down over the Hong Kong Eye and I like the cinema here. There are a number of nice restaurants on Level 3, so it’s easy to go for dinner after a movie. The Level 3 restaurants have outdoor decks and views across the harbour to TST. If you have kids with you, there is the obligatory McDonalds and Pret A Manger but up on Level 4 is a big Shake Shack with a large open outdoor eating area and a great view. The other very handy thing here is City’Super, a very nice (albeit very expensive) supermarket. It carries a large range of Western and international goods, stocks fresh fruit and vegetables, has a decent bakery and there’s a takeaway deli/food bar out the front that always seems to have a queue. Overall this is a very attractive shopping mall mainly because it is so spacious and bright. This is probably the best thing about it. Even if you are just looking for somewhere to get out of the heat for a while, this is not a bad place to head to.

A higher end mall located in the financial district. IFC stand for International finance centre. One of the biggest draws of this mall is the Apple store. You can easily access this mall by MTR and getting off either at central or Hong kong station. The mall has free WiFi, umbrella lending and mobile battery charging and other complimentary services.
