Photography and studio items in Beijing

[syl]

Travelling to Beijing in a few days. Does anyone know where I should go to buy photography items such as camera cases, memory cards, etc. and such accessories that are manufactured in China? What about stuff for a studio - other than Jinbei strobes, etc.

Hopefully someone can tell me Beijing's equivalent of SLS, Peninsula Plaza/Shopping centre, etc. Got the urge to B B B things over there.

What about good quality hi-fi equipment too?

TIA!

At the oriental plaza at Wang Fu jin, I see a bose outlet, B&0, and a couple of other home theatre shops. but doesn't look like the place for bargains though.

PM me yr contacts if you want to know where the camera gear town is in Beijing. It's not in downtown Beijing. They're 10 times the size of all the shops in Peninsula added together. If u cannot find the camera stuff, film or digital there, chances are u are not going to find it elsewhere in Beijing. Most of the commercial shopping areas only sell the standard popular cameras. Obscure stuffs and accesories are never able to be found in all the tourist area.
