Bookstores and Electronics around the Campus

BOOKS

BOKU Bookstore (博库书城)

38 Wen'er Road Macheng Rd.（杭州市文二路38号）

9:00am - 9:00pm

0571-8883 1111 ext. 8620

If you’re running low on reading material, BOKU bookstore (located a short walk away from Wenyi campus) has a fairly good selection of English books located on the top floor. Ask for the foreign language section (wàiwén túshū). You might not find exactly what you’re looking for, but if you browse around a bit, you’ll undoubtedly find something that peaks your interest.

ELECTRONICS

Gome Household Appliances (国美电器,教工店)

1/F, Qiushi Mansion, 6 Jiaogong Road （教工路6号求是大厦1楼）

9:30am - 9:30pm

Gome (pronounced “guo mei”) has some of the best prices in the city for name-brand electronics. Whatever you’re looking for, you can probably find it here. Expect to pay more than at an electronics market, but the upside is that you know what you’re getting is real.

Electronics Market

文三路的电子市场

There are a number of multistory electronics markets on Wen’san Road, running from approximately Jiaogong Road in the East and Xuayuan Road to the West. You can find pretty much every type of electronic item you’d want here (video games, cell phones, computer software, mp3 players, laptop computers, etc.).
