“Olympian City is calling. Can you hear it?” That’s what my daughter whispered to me last week. Now here we are ready to explore this famous shopping and residential complex in Hong Kong.
Olympian City stands tall in West Kowloon. It marks a significant shopping and residential hub. This area is built on reclaimed land in Tai Kok Tsui. The MTR Olympic station is conveniently nearby.
Olympian City is not just one entity. It is a combination of three distinct phases. Each phase offers unique experiences. Together, they create a retail paradise with over 300 shops and restaurants. The total retail space exceeds 800000 square feet.
Olympian City 1 focuses on beauty, cosmetics and healthcare. Here, you will find stores like Mannings and Slim Beauty. There are also Chinese and Western medical centers. Property agents and bookstores add to the diverse mix. Lifestyle and gift shops offer something for everyone.
Olympian City 2 emphasizes fashion and accessories. Sports enthusiasts will find what they are looking for here. Electronic products and jewelry are also sold. Fortress and Marathon Sports have large retail spaces. You can find well-known brands like H and M and Uniqlo.
Olympian City 3 caters to families. It features kids’ wear and toy stores. Toys “R” Us and ChickeeDuck are popular destinations. You can also find furniture and dining options.
But why “Olympian City”? The name is a tribute to Hong Kong’s Olympic heroes. Lee Lai Shan won Hong Kong’s first Olympic gold medal. Two paralympic gold medalists were honored in 1996.
Getting here is easy. Five MTR stations surround Olympian City. There is the Olympic Station and Mongkok Station. Also, Austin Station, Kowloon Station and the West Kowloon Terminus. Elevated walkways connect them all. You can take the MTR to Olympic Station. Exits A and E lead to Olympian City 1. Exit D will take you to Olympian City 2.
Several bus routes also serve Olympian City. They stop at the Olympian City 1 Bus Terminus. Other routes serve the Park Avenue Bus Terminus. HSBC Centre Bus Terminus is another option.
Olympian City is more than just a shopping mall. It is a symbol of Hong Kong’s achievements. It is a place where shopping, dining and entertainment come together. Take your time to explore each phase. Discover the unique offerings of Olympian City.
