Concentration of Computer Stores
Pacific Digital Plazas 1 and 2 are good starting points for hunting down any IT gadgets. The first floor sells mostly laptops and PDA styled gadgets. There is also a miniscule Apple store in the middle of the Plaza 2. The upper floor have mixed selection of shops, but if you’re after components, you have to venture these floor carefully.
The atmosphere is hectic, as there are numerous customers and clerks dealing on a single matter, and everybody is talking on a loud voice. Ah, the joys of Chinese retail business….
The IT stuff has heavy import taxes in China, so the prices are not competetive with Singapore, but for us Europeans, there can be something worth buying for.
