Top Summer Shopping Destinations – Singapore? Shanghai? Hong Kong? Macau? (1)

Summer is hot every year, but this year is even hotter than before, making people want to escape to the mountains for cool air or hit the beach for some water fun. But no matter which you choose, you’ll basically have to leave the bustling city center, which can be somewhat inconvenient for those accustomed to urban life.

This summer, if you’re looking for a trip that’s a little different from the usual, then overseas shopping is definitely a viable option. Not only can you enjoy the coolness of shopping malls, but you can also check out unique local products. Moreover, summer is usually one of the two major times of the year for department store and luxury brand sales. Thanks to tax differences, many countries offer prices that are cheaper than what you’d find back home in Taiwan. It’s a great idea to plan a shopping and food trip abroad during this time!

This time, we’ll introduce four classic shopping destinations: “Hong Kong,” “Macau,” “Singapore,” and “Shanghai,” so no matter where you go this summer, you can shop happily and come out on top!

Where to Shop in Singapore?

Raffles City

As soon as you exit the Raffles City MRT station, you’ll be greeted by the entrance to Raffles City Shopping Centre. This long-established department store in Singapore truly has the best location. The mall has seven floors, including the basement, offering everything from trendy fashion and luxury goods to lifestyle products and gourmet dining. It features some of the best selections in Singapore. Even the iconic Robinsons department store is located here, and it offers a wider variety of styles and sizes than specialty stores in Taiwan.
