🗺️ Recommended Itinerary

1. Huaqiangbei Electronics City & Equipment Store Experience
Huaqiangbei Road is home to countless electronic parts, photographic equipment, and 3C accessories. We recommend spending time at several major photography stores (such as New World Digital and Photography City). With their dense concentration of stores and a vast selection, both beginners and experienced photographers will find what they're looking for. Even on rainy days, browsing the stores is convenient, as most stores offer shaded areas.
📍 Huaqiangbei Road, a short walk from Exit E of Huaqiangbei Metro Station

Helpful Tips:
- Many stores offer on-site camera trials and price comparisons, so it's recommended to visit several stores for bargaining.
- Peak seasons (such as weekends) can be quite crowded, so visiting on weekdays is recommended for a more comfortable experience.
