Recently, I posted a request asking for places to buy anime-related goods in
Hong Kong.  I have edited responses into this short shopping guide.

			ANIME SHOPPING IN HONG KONG
			(last modified 2/17/91)

ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS ARE WELCOME
Please send to:  chanj@cory.berkeley.edu


Japanese Dept Stores

	Good places to start looking are the many Japanese department stores
 in Hong Kong.  They usually have very large toy departments, carrying manga,
 anime posters, calenders, etc.  Some even offer video tape/disc rental.
 Some of the names given to me are:

 Mitsukoshi, Mitsusakaya, YaoHan, UNY, Sogo, DaiMaru, and Isetani.

 Sogo and DaiMaru are located in Causeway Bay (I believe they are near Food
 Street).  I do not know where the other stores are.  You may want to try
 looking them up in the local phone directory.


Shops

	I was told that there are many small anime shops located in plazas
 all over Hong Kong.  One person recommended checking any shopping arcade
 that doesn't look like a boutique plaza.  Some examples below:

 In Causeway Centre, on Sugar Street (Tong Jie), there are some small shops
 specialized in Japanese animation stuff.  (videos, cassettes, models)

 In Wanchai, there are two large shopping centers - Tai Yau Centre and Chai
 Shing Centre, one in Henessary Road, the other in Tamson Road, that have
 shopping specialized in Japan animation. (Posters, Records, Video Discs)

 Swan Records at the C C Wu Building at Hennessey Road, Wanchai.  (sells
 posters, records, and NTSC video tapes)

 Apollo Bookstore in Kowloon (Chinese name: Ji (wisdom) - Yun (source))
 somewhere on the 2nd floor of a building on Ka-La-Fun-Road in TsimShaTsui.
 A Japanese bookstore with Anime mags, LDs and art-books etc.

 There is a large software plaza called Golden Shopping Arcade in Sham Shui
 Po (Kowloon). They sell Hu-cards and CD-ROMs for the PC Engine, Nintendo,
 Sega, and GameBoy.

 A store named (yu-jau-shun) [Universe-ship] inside a corridor between
 Black-Cloth-Street and White-Cloth-Street in Mongkok.  It is in a very
 run-down shopping mall next to the China Travel Agency Mongkok branch,
 opposite to a playground. It has a good collection of miscellaneous
 anime-related toys, stationery, books, models, posters etc.

 There's also a small music store next to the Mongkok Police Office.  A
 store on the 2nd (or 3rd?) floor of Golden Shopping Arcade opposite to the
 Lai-Sing Cinema on Nathan Road, Mongkok.
