It is like 10 blocks selling components, 10 blocks selling electronics equipment, and another 10 blocks of fashion malls. The buildings selling components are I guess for people who know what they are doing. Each seller has a counter, there are more than 100 counters on each floor, and each building average 5 floors. I haven't figured out how a deal gets transacted. There are like 100 suppliers for every component. Maybe business is done online and the packing and invoicing is done there. I don't know. The buildings selling equipment sells PCs, toys, phones, drones, PC accessories, etc. Basically everything sold here is also online at Tao B a o (dot c o m), at about the same prices. If you want to buy anything, rule #1: research thoroughly on Tao B a o first to determine the market price. Ignore this rule, and you are guaranteed to regret because prices are not displayed and depend entirely on how you're dressed, your race, the language you use, etc. Corollary to this rule: never buy anything you haven't checked out at Tao B a o first. Hope that helps.

No. Everything here with a brand name is not legit.

Generally speaking no. Foreign credit cards are usually only accepted by major hotel chains and not many at that. You can pay by Chinese credit card or of course RNB. Foreign exchange is not acceptable by most businesses there. However, if you get money from an ATM machine it will be dispensed on RNB which you can then use for local purchases.

There are good spas around the various crossing points but my resident son says the way to do it is that he and his wife book in for a night at a hotel with spa, use the spa facilities, and then go home without ever using the room. It is cheaper than two spa stand-alone tickets. I don’t however know how widespread this practice is: I’ve only done it the once.

yes lot of legit spa near by this place.

Remember the old adage: if it's too good to be true it’s too good to be true. Caveat emptor.

Sorry, not familiar with the name of this company. That said, a lot of these busiensses are very small (hole in the wall) mom-and-pop operations - generall honest to deal with. Good luck.

You may want to check some business directory or so. But Huaqiangbei has hundreds of stores and companies that export electronics to the entire world. I would go check them out physically and see how they are.. Again, you will find plenty of options there in Huaqiangbei

No.Don't think so as Chinese New Year is the most important festive season/celebration for Chinese. They usually closed for business at least 1 week.
