Out to the northwest near several university campuses, Zhongguancun is Beijing’s answer to Silicon Valley, with offices and research facilities of major Chinese and foreign players in the digital world. Vast multi-storey markets such as e-Plaza sell and repair every electronic item ever made, from dictaphones to made-to-order computers, along with every possible accessory – and all at highly negotiable prices.
