End of an era as electronics mall shuts down
A large mall trading second-hand electronics on Qiujiang Road is to close at the end of January.
Built in 2005, the mall is where local residents seek treasures among junk. In addition to audio-visual products, there are also small objects in various categories.
Qiujiang Road has had a history as a flea market for decades. For some older Shanghainese, it is like a huge offline Taobao, where they can find almost everything they need.
Many stalls in the mall will move to Shanghai Light Textile Market on Cao'an Road, which will create a "Qiujiang Road Zone" on the second floor.
Shanghai Daily reporter Zhu Ying once explored the place. Check the following story.
