Bargaining at Luohu Commercial City
Alina explores Luohu Commercial City, a large shopping center in Shenzhen near the Hong Kong border. The mall has several levels and a wide range of shops, including clothing, accessories, electronics and tailor-made suits. She demonstrates bargaining with vendors and explains that prices can come down significantly through negotiation. Vendors may start with a high price, and walking away can lead them to call a shopper back with a lower offer.
The trip includes tailor-made suits, which can often be ready within 24 to 48 hours. Alina also sees replica luxury bags, sometimes displayed in less visible parts of the mall. She discusses replica watches, including a Rolex with an asking price of 1,250 yuan and an Omega listed at 1,100 yuan. She considers the legal risks of buying counterfeit items and taking them across a border, and advises travelers to think about customs rules before purchasing.
Food court and other services
Beyond shopping, Alina mentions a teeth-cleaning service at the commercial city. Cleaning costs 100 yuan, about one euro, while whitening is quoted at 980 yuan, around 100 euros, and is negotiable. She also bargains for boxer shorts: four pairs are first offered for 52 dollars, and she negotiates the price to 70 yuan. The UGGs she discusses are offered for 450 yuan without negotiation.
The first-floor food court has local snacks and meals. Alina recommends trying a meat-filled bread and describes the area as a practical place to stop while exploring the shops.
