Welcome to Hong Kong, Asia's most exciting city - well I think so anyway. This is where Clinique and Lancome opened their first free-standing store in the world, where 5S placed it first Asian store, and where you can get 3 Clinique counters all in the same mall (if you finish raiding one move on move on!).
Best of all, there's no add on sales tax in Hong Kong! All prices are as is, at least for now, I can spend knowing exactly what I can buy right down to the last cent (which may not necessarily be a good thing :p ).
To make it easier to refer to, this is done as a part-list-and-notes and part-guide. * = recommended to visit, I may not give recommendation simply because I haven't personally try the line.
