The Lady’s Market in Hong Kong is also known as Tung Choi Street. If you want to shop for souvenirs or any kind of fakes, then this is a good place to start looking. The fakes can include watches, clothes, hand bags, and any other kind of items you may find there. Each stall is open for everyone. Just about everyone who tries to sell you products can speak English, so bargaining for a price is easy. The prices are high for the items that are being sold, probably due to having so many foreigners shopping there. If you want to compare prices, you can buy a hand bag in Chongqing for 50 RMB and a similar hang bag at the Lady’s Markey for about HK$150. That’s three times the price. The shop owners don’t really like to sell their products for low prices, so you have to really work hard to get the prices you want. You will find similar items in different shops throughout the Lady’s Market. Keep bargaining for the lowest price and then move onto the next shop to see if you can get it lower. There should be a common minimum price if you keep bargaining at a few different places. If you haven’t shopped in China before, be prepared to be over charged if you don’t bargain for a reasonable price. The shop owners are trying to make as much money as they can. Try to enjoy bargaining for the price because you can’t do that everywhere in the world.
