Shopping Spree in Shenzhen

We are standing at the entrance to the Lowu Shopping Mall which is very near to the hotel we are staying i.e. Shangrila Hotel and Subway & Railway Station. Be warn, don't shop here, just go look and see. Shopping here is bad especially to tourists like us. We are likely to be cheated without knowing.
We are at the East Gate of Dongmen. We are all heading to one of Shenzhen's shopping heavens. Dongmen is a very popular local shopping district that's packed with big malls and many small shops selling a large variety of items: shoes, clothes, toys, watches, souvenirs, electronics, bubble tea, snacks, etc. Even if you are not planning to buy anything, this is a great place to stroll around to soak in the sights, sounds and smells of the city. My feet are so sore that I still have not enough. You will need to learn the tactics of bargaining and yes, this is a great place for real shopping.
