Causeway Bay Centre Shopping Arcade

Causeway Bay Shopping Center is a little gem for all you comic lovers out there. I’m not one myself, but one of my friends was coming to HK and asked me about places to buy comics in HK. I had no clue, did a quick search on Google and found this. Tucked away on Sugar Street near the bridge that leads you to St Pauls Convent and Regal Hotel, this tiny thing, to small to qualify as a shopping ‘center’, is a comic haven.
The shopping center looks quite decrepit and old, and it might not look like there’s anything in there but don’t judge a book by its cover! There’s only one direction you can head to when you go in: down. You’ll find a bunch of small shops that are filled to the brim with comics such as Batman, The Avengers, Wonder Woman etc. They even have guides to popular shows like Walking Dead and Once Upon a Time, and figurines from cartoons like Adventure Time.
Prices for comics here are generally quite wallet-​friendly. A comic will run you anywhere between $ 10 to $ 50 (I think I’ve seen a box at one of them that’s stacked full with comics and reads ‘2 for $ 10′, actually!) However, there are a lot of collector’s items like action figures as well which are pretty expensive — I’ve seen some that are about a thousand!
The shops here are REALLY tiny though — in the first comic shop that you enter when you walk down the stairs and turn right, I don’t think you can fit more than five people in there! The shopkeeper really utilizes all the space he has to fill up the shop with stock. So when you’re in there browsing and someone behind you wants to go out, you’ll likely have to head out first to give way. Think of it like a crowded lift, if you will!
Overall, this is a great place if you’ve been searching high and low for comics in HK but to no avail. The variety here is pretty endless and prices are affordable, though browsing here isn’t the best customer experience because of the tiny spaces. But it’s worth it — or at least my friend thought it was, evident from the close to ten comics and a Once Upon a Time guide that she left very happily with.
