Discover Asia's shopping mecca with Cathay Pacific
MANILA, Philippines - Where in Asia do the most passionate shoppers go for the ultimate steals and discounts? The answer is Hong Kong, where the annual Hong Kong Summer Spectacular creates the perfect haven for fabulous deals on some of the world’s most-loved brands.
Held throughout the whole of July and August, the two-month festival showcases one of the things the city is known for — great shopping. The ideal destination for every avid shopper, it features irresistible sales and attractive dining promotions in various malls and department stores in Hong Kong.
Those who attend the festival can expect a deluge of incredible shopping pleasures — from big designer labels that offer up to 80 percent discount to the unique bargains that can be found in the Hong Kong markets.
The experience of combing through the city during this shopping extravaganza takes one from the luxurious spaces of designer boutiques to the distinct shops around the corner — for instance, Central’s “the Lanes” located between Li Yuen Street East and Li Yuen Street West, and the charming Stanley Market.
Cathay Pacific offers special fares to Hong Kong just in time for the sale season, as well as a Visit Hong Kong Now package — an ideal and convenient tour for those planning a shopping spree at the upcoming festival.
The package already includes a roundtrip Manila-Hong Kong ticket on Cathay Pacific, hotel accommodations (there are 30 to choose from), plus one of the following free offers: roundtrip airport/hotel transfers by seat-in-coach, Ocean Park admission ticket, a copy of the Michelin guide Hong Kong & Macau 2011 Restaurant & Hotels, Peak Tram ride with ticket to the Madame Tussauds’ Wax Museum, or a HK$150 duty free shop coupon.
Whether one is after new wardrobe finds, Chinese artwork, silk products or simple curios and mementos, the Hong Kong Shopping Festival is the place to find all these, all the more reinforcing the famous moniker given to this vibrant and exciting city: the Shopper’s Paradise.
The Visit Hong Kong Now package is for sale until Aug. 27 (for departure until Aug. 30). Rates start from $275 for a three-day, two-night stay.
