GOLDEN COMPUTER CENTRE
TECH GEEK BASE FOR DIE-HARD GAMERS

Here's a local electronic wonderland for you- Golden Computer Centre.

Located right at the heart of Sham Shui Po, a district swarmed by electrical appliances stalls, Golden Computer Centre has been the local tech hub since the 1980s. Annually, it attracts millions of computer lovers and gamers to make pilgrimages.

Interestingly, when the Golden building was first erected in the 1970s, the ground floor shopping center was primarily occupied by clothing and cosmetic stores, even hair salons. The scene started changing in the early 1980s, with the entry of counterfeit Apple II computers, sold at a fraction of the original price. This move paved the way for shops offering pirated software and gaming consoles, eventually resulting in the entire mall being taken over by such vendors.

The rise of e-commerce, an economic downturn, and an emigration wave have impacted the mall's foot traffic. With new models released frequently, consumers often prefer upgrading to new devices over getting old ones repaired. Additionally, the emergence of mobile games has seen younger generations preferring online purchases.

Given the popularity of online shopping, some may argue that the best deals can be found on Amazon. However, if you still enjoy hands-on experience and you crave a bit of touching and testing out the IT gadgets, then Golden Computer Centre is a must-go place for you.
