🛍️ Not a Must-Visit, But a Decent Stop
This mall first opened in December 1993, and underwent a massive HK$100 million renovation between 2005 and 2006. It officially reopened on January 26, 2007, with a fresh look and more shops.
The plaza has about 1 million square feet of retail space, with over 70 stores inside. The main tenant is AEON, which takes up the second and third floors. They also have a supermarket, which could be helpful if you're staying nearby or looking for snacks and essentials.
🚗 Bonus: There’s parking space for up to 400 cars—but if you’re like us and traveling via MTR or bus, you probably won’t need to worry about that!
🛒 My Honest Take
We didn’t go there specifically to shop, but since it was just a short walk from the park, we thought, “Why not?” I checked out a few stores while my friend got busy inside Sasa, comparing perfumes and makeup items. She loves beauty products. Me? Not so much. 😅
They had some affordable finds, but to be honest, I still find some items cheaper back home in Manila, especially the perfumes I regularly buy. If you're into Japanese or Korean skincare, though, it's still worth checking out.
While she was browsing, I went out for a bit and took a few photos of the area outside. There’s not much ambiance to hype about—it’s just your typical neighborhood mall. If you’re not a hardcore shopper or if you're pressed for time, you can skip this in favor of bigger shopping hubs like Mong Kok or Nathan Road, where you'll find a wider variety of cheaper items.
💬 Final Thoughts
Kowloon City Plaza isn’t on my “must-visit” list for Hong Kong, but if you're already in the area after visiting Kowloon Walled City Park, then it's an okay stop for a quick breather or a light shopping stroll.
👜 Travel Tip: Don’t expect a touristy mall or outlet prices. This is more like a community mall serving locals—quiet, convenient, and functional.
