Comprised of more than 230 shops, Time Square is certainly one of the largest
Hong Kong Shopping Malls in Causeway Bay with its big video screen and towering building. With an MTR exit built underneath it, it is easy to find even for tourists. Inside is a mall, some nice restaurants, and a cinema.
Times Square Mall
The large atrium in the mall gives a nice spacious feeling in crowded Hong Kong. The open square outside also does, but since it's a common spot for meeting up with friends, it gets a bit crowded. The square is also a location for the New Year Eve countdown every year.
This popular mall offers 16 floors of shopping and dining. In the basement are fast-food outlets, a city 'super food store, and shops selling health and beauty products, while the next six floors offer clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, watches, and other accessories. Shops dealing in computers, electronics, and home appliances dominate the seventh and eight floors (both Fortress and Broadway, two large chains, have stores here), while the ninth floor is the place to go for children's clothing and toys.

Practical Tips
- Non-Hong Kong residents can claim a 10% tax refund on purchases over HK$500 per single receipt via the “Tax Free Shopping” scheme. Keep your receipts, passport, and purchased items handy when applying at the refund counter.
- The mall gets extremely busy on weekends and public holidays. For a more relaxed experience, visit on weekday mornings.
