I’m a techie by heart. When I arrived at Taiwan, one of the things I wanted to ask was where can I shop for electronic products? Are they cheap/affordable?

me w/ å…‰è¯æ•¸ä½æ–°å¤©åœ° (Guanghua Digital Plaza) mascot! cute cute cute!
When asked about electronics, two stores come to mind to people who live in Taiwan:
- å…‰è¯æ•¸ä½æ–°å¤©åœ° (Guanghua Digital Plaza)
No. 8, Sec. 3, Civic Blvd., Zhongzheng Dist., Taipei City 100, Taiwan
臺北市市民大é“三段8號
This place is amazing!!! Would you believe a whole building full of computer & electronic shops? Total paradise for people like us!!!
It even has its own guide book! That’s how big the place is! There are 6 floors & 1 basement floor.
- basement for parking
- 1st floor for demo of electronic products (showroom)
- 2nd to 5th floors are where the electronic stalls are located
- 6th floor is for office space & maintenance station
You’ll find any gadgets/electronic/computer products here. It’s just overwhelming. It took us 3 hours just to look around the place. You can find softwares, computers, laptops, computer parts (memory, hard drive, etc), gaming consoles, games, mobile phones and lots, lots, lots more stuff!

Pictures I took when I roamed around the store can be found here.
- Nova å°åŒ—店 (Nova Computer Arcade)
å°åŒ—市100館å‰è·¯2號
886 (02) 2381-4833
We dropped by Nova at night when they were about to close. We arrived at around 9pm and they are already closing by 9:30pm. So most of the stores are already preparing to close.
But still I had a glance of what Nova has. It’s a haven for people who love technology. Over 130 booths/shops that sells mobile phones, computers, digital cameras, components, gaming consoles, etc.

The location is very good as well as it is just across the å°åŒ—車站 (Taipei Main Station).
å…‰è¯æ•¸ä½æ–°å¤©åœ° (Guanghua Digital Plaza) is memorable for me coz it was there where I bought my PS3! And the building wowed me so much! The prices are the same for both stores though. So you can take your pick.
Other products are still more expensive compared to Singapore & US. But there are some items that are cheaper in Taiwan like PS3, iPhone & some computer parts.
