Usually located below public and private housing estates, community shopping malls are typically dominated by small shops that primarily serve the day-to-day needs of kaifong (people living in the neighbourhood).
A bewildering variety of merchandises and services are on offer, such as clothing items, household gadgets, stationery, and Western and Chinese clinics. Kaifong go there not only to shop, but also to chit-chat. Sometimes kaifong go there only to socialise – customers probably not welcome in luxurious shopping malls.
Product/service diversity and fair pricing not only lure kaifong, but also students in the district. This additional clientele, in turn, attracts retails targeted at youngsters. A look at the product range will give you a glimpse of the popular culture of the time.
Lucky Plaza has been an indispensable part of Sha Tin since the mall opened in the 1980’s.
