Dongmen, The One Stop Spot For All Your Shopping Needs In Shenzhen

Shenzhen maybe famous for its brand new malls and high end stores, but if your better doesn’t stretch to that ( like mine) you should head to Dongmen. Located in Louhu it’s one of the oldest shopping districts in the city and caters a lot more to locals, so prices are a lot lower and there’s a lot more choice than the malls.

Dongmen has amazing local clothes and shoe shops, particularly good for low price basics - stock up on all your smalls. I also love it for the homewares and basic cleaning essentials, a great place to stock up your pantry!

There are also lots of food options and pretty much every Chinese cuisine is covered, along with plenty of western options - the McDonald’s here was the first one to open in China back in the 80’s

If you want to see the ‘real’ Shenzhen this is the place for you, the closest to heritage and culture you’ll find in such a modern metropolis.
📍Address: Dongmen pedestrian street, Shenzhen
