Huaqiangbei (Chinese: 华强北; lit. 'Huaqiang North') is an area and subdistrict of Futian, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China.[2] The area's status as a major electronics manufacturing hub, and sprawling electronics marketplaces[3][4] have earned it (and Shenzhen) occidental nicknames such as "China's Silicon Valley", and the "Silicon Valley of Hardware".[5][6] In 2018, due to the depression of the electronic market, part of the region was transformed into a cosmetics market.[7]

Location

The subdistrict runs from Shennan Road at SEG Plaza near Huaqiang Road Station of the Shenzhen Metro for 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north to the Pavilion Hotel. It is at the spine of a shopping district, with cross streets Zhenzhong Road (振中路), Zhenhua Road (振华路) and Zhenxing Road (振兴路). Huafa Road (华发路) is immediately parallel to the east with Yannan Road (燕南路) further away.[8][9] The central area of the district is along Huaqiang Road (华强路), a busy pedestrian street which the district is named after.[10]

Locale

The area is characterized by tree-lined streets with wide (5 to 20 metres (16 to 66 ft)) footpaths. There are three Shenzhen Metro stations in the area:

  • Huaqiangbei pedestrian street
