168 Shopping Mall (一路發商場 It-lō͘-hoa̍t siong-tiûⁿ) is a shopping complex in Binondo, Manila, the Chinatown of the Philippines. The three-story complex, housing over 500 tenants, is located along St. Elena and Soler Streets just south of Recto Avenue and Divisoria. It is owned and managed by the 168 Group of Companies. Before the opening of the Lucky Chinatown Mall in 2012, 168 Shopping Mall was considered one of the most visited malls in the area. Some of its close competitors are the 11/88 Mall, the 999 Mall, and the Lucky Chinatown Mall.
It is still one of the common destinations when shopping for bargain goods and other commodities, from novelty items, bags, shoes, toys, hardware, RTW's, and others.
