Zhong guan cun (Beijing Electronic Haven)

Zhongguancun is by far the busiest area I have gone to where it’s always jampacked with people wanting to buy new gadgets or shop at the newest mall there is ( 888 Mall) or buy groceries at Carrefour. Heavy traffic during the time I was there because of some pavement construction nearby.
Gadgets are not really my thing but you can get the cheapest electronics here at Zhongguancun. There are a lot of electronic malls in the area and if you plan to canvass for the cheapest, you need to set aside 2 days to get around all the places.
From digital cameras, laptops, electronic dictionaries, hard drives, printers, cellphones, flashdrives..they have it all. Take note that vendors in the area are really aggressive. They might grab you to their store or shout at your face to get your attention. So brace yourself for a beating

[...] (this is helpful and a good investment for a student anyways) so my friends and I all went to Zhong guan cun and canvass for the cheapest there is in the current market. Haggling was pretty tough even though [...]
