Tung Chung Citygate Outlets

Just a stone’s throw from Hong Kong International Airport, Tung Chung Citygate Outlets is a shopper’s paradise that combines serious retail therapy with spectacular mountain-and-sea scenery. Housed in a sleek modern complex, this outlet mall features over 80 brand-name stores offering discounts of 30–70% off retail prices—think Adidas, Coach, Nike, and more. But it’s not just about bargains: the mall’s location at the foot of Lantau Island’s green peaks, with views of the North Lantau Highway and distant islands, makes it a surprisingly pleasant spot to while away a few hours between flights or as a day trip from the city.

Highlights & What to See

• Brand-Outlet Shopping: Hunt for deals at flagship outlets like Adidas, Nike, Coach, and Michael Kors—prices are often 30–70% less than in town.
• Food Court & Dining Refuel at the spacious food court with Asian and Western options, or grab a coffee at Starbucks with views of the distant airport runway.
• Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car Just a 5-minute walk away, this cable car ride over the bay to the Tian Tan Buddha is a must-do—combine shopping with sightseeing.
• Citygate Ice Rink Hong Kong’s only Olympic-sized ice rink, perfect for a cool break or family fun.
• Sunset Views The mall’s open-air terrace offers stunning sunset vistas over the South China Sea and Lantau’s peaks—ideal for photos.

Suggested Time to Spend

Allow 2–3 hours for a relaxed shopping spree, including a meal. If you plan to add the Ngong Ping 360 cable car (which takes about 1.5 hours round-trip), budget half a day. For a full day, combine with a visit to Tai O fishing village or a hike on Lantau Trail. The mall is open daily 10am–10pm, so you can easily fit it into a layover or a morning-afternoon excursion.
