Golden Computer Arcade Front
Exit D2 of Sham Shui Po MTR Station leads directly to Golden Computer Arcade, which consists of three computer arcades, including Golden Arcade. It is a centralized shopping mall for all computers, computer accessories, circuits, screens, electronic games, security system cameras, etc.
It was once called the most high-tech place in Hong Kong. The other smaller shopping mall is Golden Computer Centre, which sells second-hand computers, cameras, etc., each with its own characteristics.
Each of the three malls has its own unique characteristics.
Due to Hong Kong’s changing economic environment, there aren’t as many computer assembly shops as there used to be. In the past, around 20 to 30 years ago, that district was also famous for selling pirated software.
Yet, Golden Computer Arcade now primarily sells games, such as consoles and software, mostly concentrated on the second floor. They also sell DVDs, Blu-ray movies, game consoles, and computer and mobile phone accessories.
New Golden Computer Centre primarily sells computer monitors, including various monitors, gaming chairs, and laptops, mostly on the second floor. Desktop computer assembly is a relatively rare commodity, with only a few shops offering it.
Wonder Building Centre, located across from Golden Computer Arcade at 161-175 Fuk Wah Street, is a two-story shopping mall. The basement level houses as a gadget outlet. The second floor also offers shopping, with some selling computer supplies, while others have been converted into sundry shops, selling sporting goods, backpacks, phone cases, and repair shops. This attracts a lot of traffic.
At the corner of Golden Computer Arcade, there was a small mall selling second hand cameras and accessories, but now it was closed doing renovation.
Another “Toy Street” in Sham Shui Po
Nearby streets, particularly popular for street vendors, include Fuk Wing Street, Fuk Wa Street, and Yen Chow Street.
From MTR Exit B2 you can reach Fuk Wa Street where stalls sells backpacks, bags, souvenirs, jeans, and sundries. This pedestrian-only area is a must-see for tourists.
