Jennifer Hawkins shows where to shop, eat and stay in Hong Kong, including the latest bargain hotspots for fashion and exclusive labels, in this week’s episode of THE GREAT OUTDOORS.

From open air markets and local boutiques to high-end fashion and labels at a fraction of the price, Jennifer discovers that Hong Kong is a shopper’s paradise. And it’s just as exhilarating by night as it is by day. Every evening at 8pm the skies are lit up with a spectacular light show that can be seen from both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. A good vantage point is from the Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong’s answer to Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Markets are a lively place in the evening where you can test out your bargaining skills and eat interesting fare such as turtle soup - if you dare!
