Huaqiang North was the major supplier of electronics in China. The glorious days of locals flocking for new iPhone models are long gone and this Shenzhen neighborhood is somehow losing its appeal. Many of the small shops were closed amid covid and a couple malls are virtually dead. Perhaps it is more for traders than visitors now.

This area-street is just heaven on earth. As I am an electrical engineer, all my dreams can come true from this street. Every single electrical component is there with all versions and options. I am pretty sure you can make a rocket even without a problem. If you are a normal consumer, also no problem to find all electronics devices there, like mobiles, TVs, Cameras, Charges, cables, .... and many other thousands gadgets. I did not count the mega malls there, min one day can be reserved for this place. One important tip, keep in mind that all Chinese brands are more secure to be genuine. All international brands like Apple and Samsung are more probable to be a copy, so take care. I suggest to buy a Chinese brand instead.

Yeah. You gotta walk Huaqiangbei. I've lived here over four years and go from time to time. But, please know that you are probably (90% confidence) not getting anything more than a knockoff that does not work and once you return to wherever you come from, there is nothing to do except make it a paper weight. Photography stuff ... Everything has issues. Thumb drives? No such thing as as 250 GB drive. DVDs. They work for 20 minutes and then freeze up.
So, my advice: offer them 30% and walk away when they protest. At 30% they are making a profit. Then when it breaks, you chuckle and laugh it off. If you need electronic components, you can find them, but the search is so tedious that buying off the internet is better. Before you go, go up to Taobao.com and see what the price is there and offer 10 - 15% less.
I love walking Huaqiangbei. Sit at the Burger King or Starbucks, both of which are second floor places and watch people. Eat at any of the numerous great Chinese restaurants around the area. Shop the better known stores, Sundan, Gome, etc., where they will haggle some me the stuff is genuine and then go and buy from Hong Kong.

On 28 Dec 2017, we went to this outlet to change the broken screen of our Huawei P9. The shop quoted RMB160. After fixing the screen, the camera did not work. They said it is common that when the screen is being changed, the camera will not work! What the hell is this non-sense ?? We need to pay RMB80 to fix the camera. It is obviously a con but we had no choice. After fixing, the camera still did not work and they told us to come back the next day, they will fix it for us.
On the second visit, we noticed that the Leica camera they took out (which they claimed my original camera spoils because of changing the screen) is obviously old/used parts. They even stole the original Leica lens from our camera and swapped it. That is their whole intention to cheat you by telling you that the parts in your phone spoil and they change for you & they keep the original parts.
Remember the shop and the faces of the guys there. NEVER EVER GO THERE.

Great place with just everything. I bought a few Beats earphones. Now I can only hope to find the same seller on my next trip! Very reasonable and easy to deal with. Well worth the experience.

If you're after electronics products, this is the place to visit. My brother was looking through power banks and GoPro cameras. We had a good deal for it and even buy some for souvenirs. To get there: Follow Metro line 1 to Huaqiang Lu station; go through exit A. You have to walk a few miles down the road to go into the mall. If you got lost (like we did), just ask the locals, they were quite helpful. Language barrier may be a problem for non-Chinese speaking travellers (We speak broken Chinese)

As others have said, Huaqiang Bei is arguably one of the largest electronics markets in the world. Definitely visit if you're interested in electronics - authentic or fake. It's great if you need to find things like cheap alternative laptop battery replacements or iPhone cases that aren't 30USD each.
Be warned though, there's a lot people. A LOT. Unless you're feeling adventurous and want to experience the thrill of squeezing through seas of people while praying to Jesus that you still have all your belongings after, I would advice against going during weekends. Another thing to keep in mind is that small vendors will definitely jack up the price the moment they realize you're foreign, heck, even when they tell that you're not local (e.g. Beijing accent). Just stick to the 1st floor brand-name department stores and leave the sketchy vendors for the locals to bargain with.

Hey guys is there any contact details from this place what’s the actual name or email of the shop ? I can’t find any website online or anything? I heard it’s a big electrictronic whole salers ? Thanks
Written November 7, 2019
It is like 10 blocks selling components, 10 blocks selling electronics equipment, and another 10 blocks of fashion malls.
The buildings selling components are I guess for people who know what they are doing. Each seller has a counter, there are more than 100 counters on each floor, and each building average 5 floors. I haven't figured out how a deal gets transacted. There are like 100 suppliers for every component. Maybe business is done online and the packing and invoicing is done there. I don't know.
The buildings selling equipment sells PCs, toys, phones, drones, PC accessories, etc. Basically everything sold here is also online at Tao B a o (dot c o m), at about the same prices. If you want to buy anything, rule #1: research thoroughly on Tao B a o first to determine the market price. Ignore this rule, and you are guaranteed to regret because prices are not displayed and depend entirely on how you're dressed, your race, the language you use, etc. Corollary to this rule: never buy anything you haven't checked out at Tao B a o first.
Hope that helps.

Is there a place here that sells actually genuine SD cards from the major manufacturers like Sandisk? I was offered 128GB SDXC for 80RMB which is laughable... I could use some actual good SD cards though.

No. Everything here with a brand name is not legit.

Hello. I would like to know if there is the possibility to pay a laptop with a western credit card, a MasterCard. Thank you
Written December 28, 2018
Generally speaking no. Foreign credit cards are usually only accepted by major hotel chains and not many at that. You can pay by Chinese credit card or of course RNB. Foreign exchange is not acceptable by most businesses there. However, if you get money from an ATM machine it will be dispensed on RNB which you can then use for local purchases.

There are good spas around the various crossing points but my resident son says the way to do it is that he and his wife book in for a night at a hotel with spa, use the spa facilities, and then go home without ever using the room. It is cheaper than two spa stand-alone tickets. I don’t however know how widespread this practice is: I’ve only done it the once.

Sorry, not familiar with the name of this company. That said, a lot of these busiensses are very small (hole in the wall) mom-and-pop operations - generall honest to deal with.
Good luck.

You may want to check some business directory or so. But Huaqiangbei has hundreds of stores and companies that export electronics to the entire world. I would go check them out physically and see how they are.. Again, you will find plenty of options there in Huaqiangbei

No.Don't think so as Chinese New Year is the most important festive season/celebration for Chinese. They usually closed for business at least 1 week.
