Nestled in the back streets of the promenade, Stanley Market may seem like it is tailored for tourists, but it offers a truly unique shopping experience. Lose yourself in a warren of cute little stores that offer a wide range of local crafts and souvenirs that distinguish it from other markets in town. Although the market may not wow visitors with its size, spending an hour or two wandering through the back alleys can lead you to some local surprises.
At the Stanley Market, you will find an array of gimmicky souvenirs, Hong Kong-themed products, counterfeit handbags, silk clothing, handcrafted tableware, paintings, and even Chinese calligraphy. If you fancy the finer things in life, you can even ask the artisans to write your names in rainbow art calligraphy, which combines Chinese brush strokes with multi-coloured ink. Take home some of these unique items and cherish the memories of your trip.
While bargaining is not welcomed at the Stanley Market, it is still a high-end shopping destination that aligns with the affluent vibe of the town. The prices are still acceptable, though, so don't worry about breaking the bank. We recommend visiting after lunchtime when most of the stores are open to make the most out of your shopping experience. Come and indulge yourself in the unique charm of the Stanley Market - a must-visit destination for any tourist in Hong Kong.
