What’s on offer: Audio and visual equipment used mobile phones and computers, computer accessories, furniture, vintage clothes, all manner of strange gadgets and gizmos.
Since the much lamented demolition of Nuren Jie Super Bar street, people have been at a loss when seeking out a number of items on their shopping list. Previously, visitors to the street’s two story indoor market were treated to a spread of all kinds of items ranging from somewhat sinister “self defence” devices (swords, baseball bats, brass knuckles), to downright wrong (Celine Dion records). Luckily, much of the market that was housed in Super Bar Street has been relocated just a stones throw to a site behind the Sheraton Great Wall Hotel. People that enjoyed the somewhat dubious but cheap “used” cell phones, the stalls with all manner of vintage audio and visual equipment, CDs and vinyl records – yes that’s right, you can buy records in Beijing – second-hand laptop computers and all manner of accessories can still find these things at the new location. The market really was a nerd’s paradise and much of its wares are still on offer. To entice females to the market, should they not be on the look out for an original 1970’s Sony 12 track mixer or a telescopic sight for their hunting rifle, there are also vintage clothes stores.
