Citigate is at Tung Chung, the same location where people take the cable car up to the village of Ngong ping to see the huge buddha.

Building has a few levels of shops with factory outlet stuff, think 4 levels and a Republic foodcourt. The goods are 50 to 70 per ct off.

actually, HK many places have branded .. opposire kowloon hotel is channel.. along the tsim sha sui stree can find coach, long champ.. blahh.. so no need purposely go to one place.. but price wise i din check as i dun even have time for shopping

Yup, I normally stay at TST and am familiar with the shops there, They dont hv GST 7 p/c so the branded can come to 10 to 20 p/c cheaper than in spore depending on the brand and exchage rate.
Citigate sells outruns n past season goods at affordable prices but got to check on the workmanship for some brands.

I will be staying within walking distance from Yau Ma Tei station. Already planned to walk "up and down" Nathan Road, the moment I unload my luggage !

really genuine stuff or not ? genuine stuff normally no problem with quality, and some even carry lifetime warranty

Any reviews on Metropark Kowloon Hotel?

I got no issues with the quality of the stuff at Citygate. All genuine. They are not defective items. The items belong to past seasons. For Coach, not as cheap as US factory outlets. Kate Spade, don’t bother. Quite cheap for Giordano but got to buy in bulk as in at least 4 - 5pcs. As in my earlier post, bring a small trolley bag to pack in your shopping if you need to take MTR back to TST area.

I stayed at Metropark Kowloon in June. Overall not too bad. The good thing is, the hotel has a free shuttle service from the hotel to TST station (near Peninsula hotel). It makes a short stop at Mongkok on the way to TST but doesn’t stop at Mongkok in the return trip. So when you want to return to the hotel, don’t try taking a train to Mongkok station and walk back to the hotel coz it’s quite far. Instead, stop at TST station then use the shuttle bus from outside Peninsula hotel.
