World's Largest Electronic Town @ Shenzhen (off off Tokyo): Nov. 22, 2014

I walked around central Shenzhen, China. There were many surprises.

There are many electronic shops gathering in Huaqiangbei Commercial area. Tens of huge commercial buildings as well as hundreds of smaller shops are open.

Huaqiang Electronic World was one of the largest commercial buildings I had ever visited. Hundreds of electronic parts shops were open in the 1^st, 5^th and 6^th floor respectively. (2nd photo ftom the top)

There were many shops of smart phones, PCs and other electronic goods in the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th floor.

Tokyo’s Akihabara may be more sophisticated, but Shenzhen’s town is overwhelming in its size. It is said to be the largest in the world. The area not only sells the products, but also buys the goods (The free markets develop here). This may support many built-ups in electronics in Shenzhen.

New shopping centers opened in recent years. I visited the centers in Laojie district、Jin Guang Hua Market and other places. I also visited a big bookshop. All of they were full of energy.

A big picture of Deng Xiaoping was displayed at the corner of Lizai Park in the central city. Skyscrapers stood around and boys enjoyed roller skating in front of the picture. The city has become rich. I wonder what would Deng have said if he were here.
