All 3 Apple Stores in Shanghai
China is definitely a big market contributor for Apple, and its front line cities play major roles, such Beijing and Shanghai. There are 3 Apple Stores in Shanghai and 2 in Beijing till now. I have introduced the Apple Retail Store located in Hongkong Plaza in July, and this time, I want to introduce another 2 stores in Shanghai, Lujiazui and East Nanjing road Apple Stores.
The first Apple Store in Shanghai is the Lujiazui Apple Store located in the IFC building. You can go there by metro line 2 at Lujiazui station.

The Apple Store in east Nanjing road is the third one in Shanghai that opened last month, while the second one is that in Hongkong Plaza.

As east Nanjing road is a walking street and is a famous sightseeing place in Shanghai, the Apple Store there attracts many tourists from other cities, what usually makes the store very crowded. It may be not a good idea if you go to this store to buy Apple products.
It’s always amazing walking by or into an Apple store in Shanghai. One, it’s always packed. Two, people are always coming out with bags (that is, they bought something). I know Steve Jobs must be smiling in heaven because Apple in China is banking!
Then several weeks ago, I wanted to buy an iphone as a gift. Little did I know, the iphone 4 is selling like popcorn in China even after the 4s has come out! Yes, to buy the iphone 4, you need to make a reservation online starting at 9PM. I tried for a couple of days and they were sold out within minutes after starting. It could be my internet but the traffic going to that page is so full, it kept timing out! I ended up buying the 4s from Australia.
