Guanghua & Syntrend Digital Plaza: Best Electronics Shopping in Taipei
This multi-story mega mall of of everything tech is the biggest source of electronics in Taiwan. If you’re looking for any product related to computers, cameras, audio, digital games, or gadgets, be sure to check out Guanghua Digital Plaza near Zhongxiao Xinsheng MRT station.
It’s fun to explore even if you’re not looking to buy anything. Check out some of what’s on offer:
All of the best digital brands have outlets in the modern building, with sleek displays showcasing the newest electronics.
Take some time to explore the 10-story building and you’ll find plenty of gadgets to test out yourself – you can play video games on large monitors and even try out the latest in virtual reality technology.
Also consider crossing the skybridge to the plaza’s original building, which feels more like a traditional Chinese electronics marketplace with its dated aesthetics. It still has the latest tech, but although you might expect prices to be lower, we found them comparable to those in the newer building. Don’t expect to bargain at all – fair prices are clearly marked.
Just south of the plaza, there’s an entire street also devoted to electronics. Bade Road has countless shops selling anything digital you can imagine. Combined with the plaza, this entire area is the heart of the Taipei electronics industry!
What’s the vibe?
Large and bustling multi-story complex containing all the best digital outlets, with plenty of games and gadgets to try. The newer building has a modern interior with sleek displays while the older building feels like a throwback to a traditional Chinese electronics marketplace.
Worth it?
Yes.
Even if you’re not in the market for electronics, this mega mall is fun to explore.
Would you go back?
Yes.
Guanghua Digital Plaza is the go-to spot for electronics in Taipei.
