I have been to both place in one day last month :深圳購書中心 and 深圳書城 . The former is not as worth going to the old one. The old book city is very crowdy. The new one don't have much customers. Books there is thinner but more expensive. Anyway, there are a lot of new books that you cannot find in the old book city.If you don't have time, the priority is going to the old book city.
I have gone to 'mian dian wang' but it is in 'kwok mao' MTR station. The things are very good, only that you have to wait longer.
If you go out from the old book city rear door, turn right and cross the road, you would find a restaurant called '南昌XXXX’ in the second floor. Every time I went to old book city, I went there for lunch. It's not bad.
one saturday very boring, then went with hub to a Shen Cheng massage parlour by the last train, stay overnight.
then morning we went to new and pm to old book city.
I avoid buying Chinese story book also, because of the simplified character. But last year I did find a few English story books, which are very cheap.
I would also buy:
Exercise to train baby and to boost their intelligence. Quality is much better than that in HK. They are shown in cartoons, and children like it.
Cartoons books to teach mother how to train/take care of BB. There are a few books like this. I read with my son together.
Cards.
Maths books.
next week, I will go SZ for business trip. I have not much time to search books during the trip in SZ. Which floor or section should I go in SZ book city? I would like to buy 百科全書 (english) and 德育故事書 (english) kinds of books for 1-2 years old baby. Any suggestions? Thanks.
