Huaqiangbei (Chinese: 华强北; pinyin: Huáqiángběi; literally: "Huaqiang North") is an area and subdistrict of Futian, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China.[2]

Location

The subdistrict runs from Shennan Road at SEG Plaza near Huaqianglu 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.[3][4] The central area of the district is along Huaqiang Road (华强路), a busy pedestrian street which the district is named after.[5]

Locale

The area is characterized by tree-lined streets with wide (5 to 20 metres (16 to 66 ft)) footpaths. Huaqiangbei is famous for its variety of electronics and clothing shops, though it has a notorious history of selling counterfeit and smuggled goods.[6][7][8][9]

There are three metro stations in the area:

Construction is ongoing for the fourth metro line with several new buildings pending completion.[when?]
