There's no shortage of shopping in this town, where over 1,000 garment factories, including 300 foreign-owned, ply their trade producing garments for the world.  Dongguan is a great place to find a good selection (and not just for clothes) as well as excellent prices.  Just be wary of the potential for fakes, those can cause returning foreigners a bit of trouble at customs. DVD's are best avoided, tempting as they are at prices below $1US, they invariably draw a custom official's attention and cause trouble.

Those interested in visiting a more market-style area can take a walk in the Nancheng Fumin Commercial Pedestrian Street, where they'll find major international brands, cafe's, restaurants as well as a multitude of local boutiques.  Those interested in shopping malls can head over to Global Plaza, which hosts  department stores as well as international brands and designer outlets. If you happen upon any other interesting shopping areas, please feel free to tell the Chinatravel.net community by commenting on it in our Forum!
