Went here for the hotel exhibition and to collect stamps, there are a few cute shops that are cool to visit, such as the frog shop and the beaded pearl bag shop, there’s also a shop offering robes from Harry Potter that is not for sale but your allowed to try it on and take photos with it and there’s a mirror, tho keep in mind the food is quite expensive and it’s all western food (Hk friend said it’s mostly sushi or western food around most places, which are both quite expensive and she’d recommend me to go to Mong Kok for traditional Hk food) so wouldn’t recommend specifically coming here for food unless you wanna experience western salad and chicken or steak 🥩 . Annnndddd about the clothing shops at the first floor, cough cough something to say: DONT STEP A FOOT IN THERE, like they’d look you up and down, 白眼都要翻到天上了, and just bought a drink from %Arabica also in the mills, which they said is not allowed in the shop and I’d can’t take it in with me unless I put it at their counter and gave a big bombastic side eye, like woah the superiority and how random, I ain’t bringing in like specific food and I feel like it’s quite normal to walk into a store with a coffee, like compared to that the other shops are quite friendly, and they don’t rlly say anything when you bring your coffee in, idk if that’s a tradition or some kinda norm, but it certainly doesn’t feel comfortable being faced with bombastic side eyes when your the customer/visitor and your just tryna have a good time, like you could say it in a better tone even, like madame who hurt you 😅. Also idk why google said you need a ticket to visit, cuz we just entered…? And according to other ppl on red note, so have they? But yeah, other than that, still recommend coming cuz there’s some quite cool small business that sell cool crafts and niche items and the hotel exhibition was quite fun, and you get to send digital postcards to your friends and family and collect stamps (the ink is surprisingly...
Read moreThe Mills in Hong Kong is a unique shopping and cultural destination that blends history, art, and technology. The mall is housed in a former cotton mill that has been transformed into a modern retail and arts complex, featuring a mix of local and international brands, as well as galleries, exhibition spaces, and workshops.
One of the key advantages of The Mills is its focus on sustainability and heritage. The mall's design and architecture pay tribute to its industrial past, while also incorporating sustainable features such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems. The mall also features a range of sustainable and ethical brands, as well as workshops and events focused on sustainability and social responsibility.
In addition to its unique shopping offerings, The Mills also features a variety of art and cultural exhibitions. The mall hosts a range of events throughout the year, including art exhibitions, film screenings, and workshops, providing visitors with a chance to engage with Hong Kong's vibrant arts scene.
Despite its many advantages, The Mills can be a bit confusing to navigate due to its sprawling layout and diverse offerings. Additionally, some visitors have reported that prices for some items can be on the higher side compared to other shopping destinations in Hong Kong.
The Mills is a must-visit destination for those interested in sustainable fashion, art, and culture. With its unique blend of history, art, and technology, it offers a shopping and cultural experience unlike any other...
Read more🐶🐕🦮🐩🐕🦺👩👩👦👦👨👩👧👦👩👩👦👦👨👩👦👨👧👦👪👨👦👩👧 The best DOG FRIENDLY & FAMILY ORIENTATED place you can visit on weekends should you find yourself in Tsuen Wan.
It is an old textile mill that has found a new lease of life as a cultural heritage museum cum cool place to hang out. It is filled with trendy coffee bars and eateries. It also serves as an incubator for Hong Kong local design brands with sustainability and recycling as its main theme. The only other place I can think of that serves a similar purpose is PMQ in Aberdeen The Street in the Central district.
I was impressed by the micro textile manufacturing setup there. It showcased products made from recycling textiles. It also offered bespoke garments in a pattern or design of your choosing. You can follow the path from concept design to final finished product.
The central area also serves as a temporary showcase area for art installations or education and craft work for kids. The current display at the moment of this review is a hands patchwork construction of geodesic structures made from wooden triangle elements that involve weaving patterns. All joined together with plastic cable ties.
There is also workshops that offer design your own jewellery also.
The heritage museum is first rate and definitely deserves a visit.
A bumper fun family weekend outing for families and mans”s...
