There are SO many upscale, high-end shops, quality restaurants, and things to see and take pictures of. It is also connected to the Hong Kong Botanical Garden, which was a very nice visit as well :) During last December 2025, Pacific Place had a mall promotion- the more you spend, the more you save! You also get gifts when you spend and reach a certain amount tier. Definitely attracted a lot of customers to shop and spend. The mall also set up a special donation booth for donating to the devastating fire that broke out in Tai Po in November 2025. In return, you will get a cute Christmas decor (blind box). The staff at the booth was very patient and helpful. The Great Food Hall in the basement is also a must-visit supermarket for foreign snacks and delicious eats!

Basically every high-end designer you've ever heard of has a massive flagship here. The food options are great too, especially the restaurants by the water with floor-to-ceiling windows. The Bad: Honestly, the vibe can be a lot. Because the mall connects a bunch of different giant buildings, it feels like an endless, confusing maze. The maps aren't super helpful and it is way too easy to get lost. We didn't have a ton of time to spend here, and we felt like we wasted most of it just trying to figure out where we were.

There's a massive, gorgeous Christmas house setup that's perfect for photos, twinkling lights everywhere, giant ornaments, the works. It's giving luxury winter fairy tale vibes and I'm obsessed. Of course the shopping is next-level too--Chanel, LV, Dior, Hermès, all the big names under one roof (or connected roofs lol). Feels extra fancy strolling around with the holiday decor everywhere. Super easy to get to: just take the MTR and hop off at Central Station Exit E and you're basically right there. If you're in HK during the holidays, you HAVE to come see this. Already planning my next visit just to soak in the Christmas atmosphere again!

While SOGO is a massive, multi-floor Japanese-style department store packed with cosmetics and a great basement fresh food market, Times Square feels more like a traditional vertical shopping mall. It has a great mix of independent fashion boutiques, lifestyle shops, and high-end luxury brands. Personally, I like Times Square much more because it is way more spacious and not nearly as crowded as Sogo. They still have "The Minions & Monsters: Bello! Hollywood Exhibition". It is open daily from 10:00 to 22:00 until August 31, 2026. As a huge Minions fan, I was so glad we visited! Admission is completely free, and I managed to take so many great photos.

Few stores we went in, staff were very friendly and willing to assist with any question.

A very classy Chrome Hearts experience!…read more I came here looking for a short sleeve shirt, and luckily they had it in my size. They have mostly long sleeves and hoodies/sweaters at this time of the year. The service was very nice. The front counter. Let me try on everything before I purchased. They have exquisite jewelry as well as clothing and other miscellaneous items. Sunglasses were plentiful and they also had the latest releases. To my surprise; they also had a selection of short sweatpants, and other accessories like slippers. The store cannot be missed once you're in the surrounding area. They have TV screens on the side of the building, which is really cool to see. And once you go up the stairs into the mall, you will notice the chrome hearts entrance with the luxurious wood paneling, juxtaposed against the chrome traditional logos . My expectations were surpassed! Luxurious and comfortable. Eloquent with bite of edgy. Or dare I say more ? They did not have any pendants when we came in, but they did have several rings and other necklaces. To my surprise they also had hats available!

So if you are a committed outlet shopper, this is really the only spot I have found to find…read moreauthentic high end brands at any discount in Hong Kong. I came out this way a few years ago, a few weeks ago and now just yesterday (in pursuit of after X-mas sales). Horizon Plaza (where the all the main shopping is) is one 30 story building. It is kind of located on the tip of Ap Lei Chau and feels like a barron spot, full of warehouses. Each floor has different stores. There are many floors and stores that are entirely dedicated to furniture and home decor. I concentrate on clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, which then eliminates many floors. I now really seek out the brands and stores I personally love and skip all the rest. If you go, here are a few tips that I wish I knew when I first went: 1) Take the elevator up to the top floor and work your way down. The elevators (they are relatively small, they are always packed and can be slow) are a great way to get to the top, start there and work you way down...by the stairs. Take the elevators if you must, but it is a juggernaut that is going to slow you down. 2) There are two stairwells. One stairwell has men's and then ladies restrooms on every other floor right there on the landing of the stairwell. The other stairwell has a handicap restroom on every floor. 3) It helps if you know your brands and their pricing. It helps to know what kind of deal you are getting and the stuff that is not such a great deal. For example, there is a Lane Crawford Outlet that occupies the entire 25th floor. The $30,000HKD Channel coat at Lane Crawford outlet is then marked down to $12,000HKD. So again, know your brands and their pricing. This might seem like a deal to many, but others might not ever imagine spending that much for a coat, regardless of who made it. So I repeat, you simply have to understand the vast array of brands sold in Horizon Plaza and look for those you know and like. 4) There are several stores that sell multiple brands under one roof. For example, the Imaginex Outlet is one store that sells BCBGMaxazria, Donna Karen, Tumi, and others in the same store. So if you are looking for one brand that does not have their own self standing store in Horizon Plaza, that does not necessarily mean the brand is not sold at Horizon Plaza. Another example, I personally love and wear Vivienne Westwood. There is not a Vivienne Westwood self standing store, but rather her stuff is sold at the Moda Mia Outlet store on floor 27. 5) There are limited options for food and drink. So go having had a meal or a good breakfast. You have to wander down the street to Harbour Industrial Center for something to eat if you are famished. Although it totally looks like a residential building and a warehouse in many ways, there are two cafes inside. One is Artichoke Canteen and can be found on Yelp (3rd Floor). 6) The PRADA outlet is not in Horizon Plaza and not walkable. You would have to hop in a cab to Marina Square maybe 7 minutes away, but still on Ap Lei Chau. 7) I think this trip after Christmas, I saw the biggest discounts. All Vivienne Westwood clothes, shoes and bags at Moda Mia were 90% off. I think this is a holiday thing though, for standard at most outlets is more like 30-50% off regular retail prices during a normal visit not associated with a holiday. 8) We take a cab out here from the Sheung Wan area where we live. The cab costs about $100HKD and is the easiest way to get there. I takes maybe 15 minutes. There is extensive construction on Ap Lei Chau buidling their MTR stop, but that is some time out before that opens (maybe late 2016, or 2017). There is also a shuttle bus option, but I have not taken that, so I cannot speak to it. There is also a big parking garage.
