陳湘記書局

陳湘記書局 is a bookshop and stationer in Mong Kok, Yau Tsim Mong, at 九龍旺角通菜街130號地下. Locals and visitors alike tend to check the same things before going, so this page brings together the practical details: where it is, how to get in touch, when it is open and how customers rate it.

It pays to compare prices before you buy and to check that the price shown includes everything. Octopus, credit cards, FPS and e-wallets work in most shops, though small ones may be cash only or set a minimum for cards; weekend and public-holiday afternoons are busiest, so weekday daytime is better for a relaxed browse.

Google lists the opening hours as Mon 11:00–19:30, Tue–Sat 11:00–20:00, Sun closed. It is open 6 days a week. It is closed on Sundays, which is not unusual for a small shop, although malls and chain stores open all week. Arrangements may differ on public holidays, over Lunar New Year and when a typhoon signal No. 8 or above or a black rainstorm warning is in force, so call before making a special trip. You can call 2789 3889; a phone call is the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or how to get there. Its website is pilotpen.com.hk, which may show prices, details of what it offers or online booking.

At 3.9 out of 5 on Google (267 reviews), it sits mid-table; the written reviews say more about service, prices and waiting times than the number does.

Mong Kok is part of the Yau Tsim Mong District in Kowloon. Around Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay many industrial buildings now house offices, restaurants, gyms and studios, while Kai Tak is a newer district. Kowloon's streets are busiest in the evening and at weekends, shops keep long hours with many open until about 22:00, and the Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Ma lines plus buses and minibuses reach almost everywhere. Mong Kok is one of Hong Kong's busiest shopping districts: Tung Choi Street (the Ladies' Market) and Fa Yuen Street (Sneakers Street) are lined with small shops, and the buildings along Nathan Road hold countless upstairs shops.
