Great episode! So interesting! What places in Shenzhen would you definitely recommend to visit?

[@StateofElectronics]

In terms of factories that will be answered in the next couple of episodes however a timed visit with Maker Faire Shenzhen in 2018, the Huaqiangbei electronics markets ( allow several days for this) and a visit to the xFactory is a good start. I'm glad you liked the episode. Cheers

Very Nice episode, I really love this city😊👌👍

[@iceberg789]

how do those component shops survive ? does not look like all of them selling well.

[@StateofElectronics]

They seem to do OK probably because most also ship to customers via Aliexpress, Taobao etc. The sound of packing tape being used is everywhere as you walk through!

[@iceberg789]

i see. so this is where they ship our stuff from, when we order parts on aliexpress .....

[@StateofElectronics]

Many are storefronts for factories and warehouses. Some are mom & pop businesses but in answer to your question - yes many sell to anyone including the internet!

[@iceberg789]

thats a cool way to run business, thanks.:)
