5 markets and shopping pop-ups to visit in Hong Kong this weekend July 26-28
- Looking to spend on jewellery, a book, or clothes – or simply want to browse a little? Five shopping spots to visit in the city this weekend
Shopping at markets and pop-ups that sell fun, unique items is a great way to while away a weekend in Hong Kong.
For retro clothes and jewellery, head to Western Market in Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island. If you are looking for handmade arts and crafts or a preloved book, then Sai Kung is the place to be.
1. Soho Market’s Summer Fantasy Handicraft Market
If rummaging around thrift shops is your thing, then this bazaar – set in a historic building in Mong Kok that dates back to the 1920s – is a must-visit this weekend. On July 28 and 29 from midday to 8pm, the market will feature second-hand clothes, nostalgic jewellery, retro toys and other goods.
G/F, 618 Shanghai Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon
2. Kuromi at Planet Yoho
Fans of Kuromi, a popular character from Sanrio’s My Melody universe, cannot miss this event – running until September 1 – at Yoho Mall in Yuen Long in the New Territories. From 10am-10pm, you can take photos at Instagrammable hotspots – a giant spaceship is most definitely the highlight – and take home a souvenir from a pop-up store selling more than 400 Kuromi-themed items.
