Elements, Hong Kong’s latest colossal shopping mall and luxury goods temple, is a living illustration of the city’s bid to lure a new generation of brand-mad spenders from the Chinese mainland.
The new development has a massive 12,000-square-foot (1,115-square-metre) Gucci store, not to mention Prada, Ferragamo and Versace shops.
It has a direct rail link to Hong Kong’s airport, and buses to and from Shenzhen airport just over the border to draw some of the more than 10 million mainland visitors who pour into the southern territory each year.
