Stanley Market is reputed to be the place to buy all your "authentic" Hong Kong Souvenirs, Stanley also has good beaches and a number of great restaurants. Lots of tourist come here ALL the time.
Souvenir ideas
'Antique shops':
1. Small Chinese bamboo bird cages as home decoration
2. small wooden frame with Chinese character or Chinese ornament inside
3. Your English name in Chinese calligraphy - I am embarrassed to find most of the 'calligraphy' are of poor standard. Find a local but not the shopkeeper to help you to distinguish the good and poor.
Linen shops:
1. linen Chinese embroidered table cloth, handkerchiefs, small cloth bag
2. silky embroidered wine bottle bag, mobile phone cover or handbag
Watch and electronics shops:
1. loads of cheap watches, perfect for young kids. We are talking about US$3 per watch!
2. fancy torches
3. data bank with calendar, calculator and other functions
Clothe shops:
1. very fancy, sparkly beads dress for ballroom dance
2. silk garment
3. XXL garment
4. cheap t-shirt
Temple Street Night Market (which actually opens in the late afternoon) is a great place for people watching, bargaining and buying. What you buy will probably be fake but for many that takes a second seat to the bargaining and atmosphere of this famous night market.
