Shopping — top quality, smart buys
Your brief: top quality only (no knock-offs); fashion without visible brands (no customs trouble); electronics (refurb, mini-PCs, home automation); sport gear from scratch; favour things not sold in Europe. Mapped by what each place is best for — then the buy-smart guide and the caveats that keep you out of the China-ROM / region-lock / customs traps.

⬚ Shopping plan across the week
- Day 4 — Sun 9 (Huaqiangbei + Luohu): electronics run and drop by Lo Wu Commercial City for tailor measurements — so suits are ready before you leave.
- Day 3 or 7 (Nanshan): Bambu Lab flagship, OCT-LOFT designer fashion, mall flagships (Li-Ning / Anta).
- Day 7–9: pick up tailoring; Day 9 (Fri 14) is a full last day — final mall flagships, Huaqiangbei tech gifts, souvenirs. Leave buffer for a fitting.
- Bring an empty soft bag / check a second case for the haul — mind the €430 customs line and airline baggage.
