I was shocked when this spiffy new mall opened in Mong Kok, traditionally an area with narrow streets packed with tiny family businesses, a poor cousin to Tsim Sha Tsui -- but I guess it's just a glimpse of things to come. Boasting some 300 shops, including a Seibu Japanese department store, it's packed with both locals and mainland Chinese rather than tourists, making it an interesting stop for those who don't mind not recognizing many of the brand names sold here. It's open daily from 11am to 11pm.
