Hong Kong Shopping Hours
Generally, shops open late morning and stay open until late in the evening. Most specialty stores' Shopping Hours at 10am to 6:30pm. However, these are just guidelines. Some stores' Shopping Hours is just whenever they feel like it. Central businesses tend to open later than those in Kowloon.
For the most part Hong Kong, Shopping Hours at 6:30pm in Central, 7:30pm in Tsim Sha Tsui, and 9pm on Nathan Road in Yau Ma Tei and in Mong Kok. In all honesty, I’ve been in the stores on Granville Road until 11pm at night. I think that as long as traffic keeps up, the stores are willing to stay open.
Mall stores in Hong Kong are open during regular Shopping Hours on Sunday. Most shops in the main shopping areas of Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay are open daily. Those in Central close on Sunday.
tips : Many shops close on major public holidays. Everything closes on Chinese New Year; some stores are closed for 2 days, others for 2 weeks. Do not plan to be in Hong Kong and do any shopping at this time. Click for hong kong shopping guide
Store hours are affected by the following public holidays:
• January 1 (New Year’s Day)
• January/February (Chinese New Year)
• March/April (Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Monday)

On public holidays, banks and offices close, and shops may close as well. Factory outlets will definitely not be open.
Many holiday dates change from year to year. For specific dates, contact the HKTA before you plan your trip.
