The 10 best street markets in Shenzhen (2024)

Luohu Commercial City, located on the border of Hong Kong opposite Shenzhen railway station, is a bustling market known for selling inexpensive counterfeit versions of designer clothing, electronics, and other goods. In addition to knockoff products, the market also offers traditional Chinese items such as silk scarves, jade carvings, and replica Qing Dynasty-style ornaments. Visitors can haggle for their desired items but should be prepared for sellers trying to get the highest price.

For the most part, Luohu is a bit of a rip off. Vendors give crazy high prices and expect you to bargain for hours. I found Ivy about 8 years ago in shop 2054, on 2nd floor and she is the opposite! Her prices are good, her quality is better than other shops and she gives way better prices than other vendors for best quality. (WeChat ID alelemingpin). I don't buy shoes, bags or watches from anyone else because her stuff is guaranteed.Rosie is the best tailor in Luohu. Not the cheapest but absolutely the best! She is on 3rd floor and I've attached her WeChat contact info.Head up to the fabric market on 5th floor to buy fabric from Suzy. Excellent quality and product knowledge. WeChat contact attached.For pearls, I have been buying from Kamy for many years. Unfortunately her English isn't great but her quality is! Contact details attached.For electronic stuff, Eva is the best. She is in shop 261 and Ivy can take you there.For anything else, contact Darren on WeChat ID mrdbiz. He's been in Luohu for years and can find anything you can possibly want whether in Luohu or anywhere else in China. If you run a business as I do, he is your go to guy for sourcing in China.

Outdated, old shopping center with high prices for tourists. Not worth visiting.

It's so 90s and has been, like a time warb which refused to move with time. They mostly sell copy handbags and fashions. But there us one thing I will come here for, that's to visit my favorite crystal wholesale dealer on 2nd floor. The whole price and the quality are excellent. Other than that, I skip.

I've traveled to Luohu for many years and always wondered why it's not more of a wholesale hub for small business. It seems that change may be afoot in light of the strong policing of TM goods. I feel this will be a positive change to this commercial centre.I actually visited Luohu the first time thinking I could find products for my business. This would not have been possible had I not met Darren who has assisted in sourcing many products for my business over the years.You can find Darren in shop 2054. It's always a good idea to contact him on WeChat ID mrdbiz if you are planning to visit. Darren and Ivy (WeChat ID alelemingpin) also have a very good reputation for selling the best quality reps, but you will need to make advance contact to buy. It will save time and you will get exactly what you want safely.

It’s very old fashioned and old nowadays. It’s better to go through some upgrade and renovation.

Great place to shop and would give a higher score if there weren’t so many pressure salesmen following you trying to heard you into their store. But the place has AC and in September that’s AWESOME!

Gerardo Miranda — Google review

Try to find good quality products, on the other hand you will earn so much money for the bad quality items. Only for bag suppliers are here in generally, if you are looking for something different don’t come here.

Found a great shop for leather on 4th floor, shop 4077. They had the best range and quality and very easy to deal with. You can contact Ivy on WeChat ID alelemingpin to check her range ahead of time.This shop is fantastic.Ignore people trying to lure you into shops, they are not very nice people.Also found Shop 4099 and bought usb towers, speakers, headphones and a drone for a very good price. Thousands of shops there, but all the others I went to didn't feel nice .. these people were really nice and spoke good english. Prices are about 40% less than same products online with quality you can trust.Karen in shop 4098 is a fantastic tailor. Hubby had 2 suits and 5 shirts made, all perfectly fitted and ready within the week. Great value and beautiful quality fabric.

For those who love shopping,this is the place.You can get everything from clothings to foot wear,souveniors and you name it.You can get everything at a reasonable price as long as you know how to haggle.This is an everyday question from tourist, 'where to get a fridge magnet when in Shenzhen' well obviously this is the place to get it,go to the second floor and you will find it there.Apart from shopping you can enjoy good food from restaurants inside the mall.Overall a good place to relax or do shopping but bit too noisy since this is a border area where tourists enter and leaving Shenzhen and so forth.If you have spare time,give Luo Hu a thought and come and visit this commercial city.

With the opening of a myriad of shopping malls in and around the nearby Dongmen area, this mall has lost its charm.The shops here don't have much to offer in terms of the latest either and expect a lot of transit crowd going in and out of Hong Kong.

Adeel Khan — Google review

Old style indoor multi-floor market of all kinds of products. Exciting for Western tourists on their first visit to Asia, who believe they get a bargain while actually paying more than in a decent shop elsewhere.Unpleasant atmosphere as all hawkers play all tricks to lure you into their shops. Full of touts who stick to visitors, promises to bring you to a shop with best prices and you end up paying double.This place is a relic of cheap poor China from the last century. Avoid it.

Most shops in this infamous shopping mall have reopened after lockdown. Most are still selling faked merchandise, plus some offering pedicure/massage services. Customer traffic is much lower than before.

Henry Mok — Google review

A shopping complex that can satisfy most Hong Kong tourists. Tailors, spectacles, curtains, sneakers, toys, banks, long distance buses, fake watches, massage services and nail decorations etc.... You can spend a whole day there.

Joseph Li — Google review

Huge variety of fake handbags, watches and many other products to shop. In addition there are mane jade, jewellery and accessory shops too. However, to shop here, you need to be thick skin and be bold to fan off all the haggling by the shopkeepers. They are very persistent, but other than that, you could get yourself some nice items at good prices if yup bargain hard and right. Certainly a nice shopping centre to visit and experience in Luohu.

Warren Ong — Google review

Less crowded than before.Seems like hundreds of massage / nail shops.Toilet's are clean.I found only one dentist at GF level but they didn't speak English.Lot's of good deals for prescription glasses they can finish within an hour for HK$500 or less.

Chef Hans — Google review

Nice place to shop but you should know how to bargain. The prices quoted by shops are usually 5 6 times
