Olympian City Two

Sometimes its hard to shop outside in Hong Kong– because its always hot outside and sometimes it has the ability to completely drench you. Either way it makes a shopping day rather tiring and annoying to say the least. So what choices are there, if I wanted to shop in the middle of town in relative comfort? This place pretty much does it.
Olympic City 2– as its name suggests, is a three part shopping mall that spans across the Olympic MTR station. this section is the biggest of the three and most people just call it Olympic City. Its a mall that really caters to the people as this one has more high street brand names as opposed to the Fifth Avenue brands that you will find in TST. You will be able to buy something here and from personal experience things always seem to be on sale here (it may be to do with the seasonality). H&M, M&S, Pull & Bear– all these brands are here. The other good thing about this mall is that its really big and airy hence you will not feel suffocated even it was a Golden Week and half of Southern China seem to have descended into Hong Kong.
Adding to that is the Cinema which has just been revamped, I am happy to report that the seats are all leather and they are bigger than before. it was well overdue for a renovation and now they have done it right (yes you do have to pay a premium compared to other cinemas though). Restaurants are in their abundance if you walk over to Phase 3 as well. Parking discounts are almost available at all shops if you spend over 100 HKD so you will always see a queue outside the carpark on weekends.
Now this mall doesn’t really do anything different– fact is they all have the same shops nowadays. However, if that was the case, why don’t I choose one which is more comfortable?
That’s why I would come here.

Olympian City — in particular Phase Two of Olympian City — is one of my favorite shopping malls. There’s a food court, a huge Taste, and lots of shopping to be done — what’s not to love?
I would say that the fashion here is more geared towards the younger audience — for example, there’s Pull and Bear, Bershka, Stradivarius and Mango. I’m still upset that Bershka left Times Square about a year ago, and if that wasn’t enough, Pull and Bear is now gone too! That there are bigger stores of both here at Olympian City kind of makes up for it though.
If you’re looking for sportswear, the UG floor has got you covered. There are big names like Nike and Adidas, and megastores like Sportshouse and Marathon Sports. I once bought a pair of running shoes at the Marathon Sports here for only around $ 300! For some reason, that pair and a few others were being sold for particularly cheap prices. I had looked in other malls like Festival Walk and New Town Plaza, and none had as good deals as what I found here at Olympian City.
Although Phase Two is my favorite, that’s not to say that the other phases of Olympian City aren’t worth going to. Granted, there’s nothing much at Phase One — it’s mostly tuition centers and fast food restaurants, but Phase Three is worth exploring as well. There’s a lifestyle store similar to Homeless called Lost and Found, and there are a couple of Korean and Japanese boutiques. There are a few shoe stores — I’ve only window-​shopped, but they look pretty good.
If you’re getting hungry, head to the highest floor and you’ll find Spaghetti House, Bene and the likes. There are a couple of Chinese restaurants too, whether you’re in the mood for wonton noodles or dimsum. The restaurants here aren’t super fancy so they are all quite affordable.
Olympian City is pretty convenient to go to — the closest station by nature is the Olympic MTR, but the Mongkok one isn’t far either. I can easily spend half a day at Olympian City, and I bet you could too!
