Luo Hu Commerical City - its a shoppers paradise!

Luo Hu Mall - Shenzhen
It is a shoppers paradise!. 

Luo Hu Commerical City or Lo Wu Shopping Plaza is right on the border with Hong Kong and the shopping mall is almost there as you exit border control.

It's a market full with everything you need and a good place to go.  This complex is big, full of fake stuffs but the quality is fine with affordable prices. You have to bargain if you want the best price. It sells a wide range of items, including belts, sunglasses, watches, handbags, purses, clothes, shoes, audio-visual products, souvenirs, curtains, DVDs, etc. The mall also includes a number of restaurants and shops that offer services, such as massages and dental work.

Luo Hu Commercial City Shenzhen


Luohu Commercial City (simplified Chinese: 罗湖商业城; traditional Chinese: 羅湖商業城; pinyin: Luóhú Shāngyè Chéng) is located on the Shenzhen side of the Shenzhen River, right outside the entrance/exit to Luohu Immigration Control Point. The mall is five stories tall. Open late till 10pm.

directions
The Luohu Inter-city Bus Terminal is located directly under the mall, and buses to locations in Guangdong and Fujian provinces are available here. A shuttle to Shenzhen Airport is also available in the Bus Terminal. Shenzhen Railway Station is next to the mall and provides long-distance travel across China. Located on the north side of Luohu Commercial Center is a bus station for intra-city buses and mini-buses. Immediately to the west is the Luohu Station of the Shenzhen Metro. Taxis are also available at a special taxi stand location below the intra-city bus station.

Tips:

The mall completes  your fashion look without spending thousands of dollars. You can master your fashion wardrobe while still staying within your budget. Find handbags such brands as Hermes , Tod’s, Celine, Chloe , Prada , Miu Miu , Gucci, Birkin, Mulberry, Balenciaga or looking for watches such brands as Cartier Longines,  Mont Blanc, Tag Huer, Bvlgari, Tudor, IWC, Omega, or Rolex. You name it and you can find it there. If you are after a copy stuff - sometimes the designer name is not spelt correctly. LOL

inside Luohu Mall
Great place with many shops offering almost anything you will need whether it would be for yourself or family and friends or some gifts for back home. Prepare yourself for a bargain and they will try to sell you all kind of goods.

You have to remember that the opening price is not the final price. Start at half the asking price and then pay what you feel you are willing to pay.  Most times if they won't come to your price, walk away and they will chase you and you will get it at your price.

a shop at Luohu mall
Try out all the stores, haggle as much as possible. Makes it hard to browse, but if you know what you want to buy it's a great experience!

Shop staffs do their best to get you into their store, and if you do venture in, be careful as once you show the tiniest bit of interest, they won't let you go.

bags shop at Louhu Mall
If you stay in Kowloon, take light blue MTR line, the train ride was easy and only took about 30 minutes to Shenzhen Railway Station – the end of the line. The cost is $34 Hong Kong dollars each way which you can top up on your octopus card. The mall opens about 11am but prepare to get to Luohu about 10am to hinder crowded for imigration.

The visa payment must be in RMB (Chinese currency) as well as the shopping. You could get your Chinese currency in Hong Kong at a money exchanger on the street.

Shenzhen Railway Station
Bring LOTS of CASH! You can exchange US dollars or Hong Kong dollars, and they have Exchange spots as soon as you cross the border.


Happy Travel!
