Sometimes getting slightly lost can be a good thing. After attending the Invictus Gala Charity Premiere at the Grand Cinema at the Elements Mall in Kowloon West, around 600 guests all rushed to the many exits around the Mall. Some went straight for the parking levels while some went to the MTR station to catch a train to Hong Kong Island. Most of us went in search of a taxi to take us home; which is where the problem came in if you’re not familiar with Elements.
Around midnight on a Thursday evening the Mall was all but shut down save for some cleaners and workers removing Christmas decorations. Normally when a mall is packed with shoppers it’s easy to find your way around because there will be concierge services all around and even if you just follow the crowd, you should get to an exit quite comfortably.
I took me around 20 minutes to find my way to the exit where I could catch a cab to Hung Hom Bay. But not before I noticed that Elements is indeed a Mecca for the high-end shopper.
Some of many international brand-names I noticed are:
Alain Figaret, Alfred Dunhill, Calvin Klein Underwear, CANALI, Guess, IWC, Montblanc, BVLGARI, Cartier, ECCO, Fendi, GUCCI, HERMES, Jimmy Choo, Loewe, LOUIS VUITTON, Piaget, PRADA, Pringle of Scotland, Salvatore Ferragamo, Shanghai Tang, Tiffany & Co, TODS, Valentino, Versace, etc.
All in one venue.
As the name suggests, Elements Mall is named after 5 Chinese elements and is devided into 5 distinct zones:
Fire: Entertainment
Earth: Fashion
Water: International Cuisine
Metal: Luxury brands and world-class dining
Wood: Health, Beauty & Lifestyle
