Nerds. Geeks. Tech professionals. Here’s a local electronic wonderland for you- Golden Computer Centre.

Located right at the heart of Sham Shui Po, a district swarmed by electrical appliances stalls, Golden Computer Centre has been the local tech hub since the 1980s. Annually, it attracts millions of computer lovers and gamers to make pilgrimages. 

As you head down to the basement, you will find yourself inside a maze-like shopping arcade. People occasionally get lost between rows of display stands. You may hardly fix your eyes on anything. The shopping centre is a jungle of power cords, memory cards, and all kinds of supplies and accessories that dazzle the newcomers. Yet, the experienced can always locate their targets with speed and precision. When you walk between the stalls, you may experience a temporary sensation that you are right in the middle of a cyberpunk novel – imagine all those 42-inch LED TVs that play simultaneously! 

Discounts and great deals offered by the owners.

If you are more of a gamer, then I strongly suggest you to go up to 1/F instead. Once you are there, you will be wowed by the myriads of computer games, accessories, and components. Again, it impresses everyone with the abundance of its stock. This is the place where you can enjoy the best offer in town (if you know how to bargain smart)!

Forgotten tech: movie and music discs

Given the popularity of online shopping, some may argue that the best deals can be found on Amazon. However, if you still enjoy hands-on experience and you crave a bit of touching and testing out the IT gadgets, then Golden Computer Centre is a must-go place for you.
