The most secret shopping mall

In Hong Kong, there are some famous shopping areas. Today, I would like to introduce a plaza which is in Causeway Bay to all shopaholic! Causeway Bay is one of the major shopping districts. Here is the most secret shopping plaza in Causeway Bay- The Ginza Plaza. If you went to Causeway Bay for shopping thousands times, you may not notices this plaza under the ground. It is on Jeffe Road and located near the Sino Plaza. I would say it is the mini- Mong Kok in Causeway Bay. The reason is most of the store are selling in a very reasonable price. Most of the prices of the clothes are around in HKD 200-300, and very high fashion! Some of the stores are selling clothes which are designed by local teenagers.

Here are some photos of The Ginza Plaza:
