Dangerous place to visit on the 5th Floor of the Lo Wu Mall
I am a US citizen visiting Shenzhen, Today I had some friend over from Hong Kong and we took them to the Lo Wu Commercial shopping mall by the border (the 5 level one that sells a lot of the knockoffs)I was beaten up with fists and kicked by like 5 or 6 of the store clerks at the shopping mall for cheap products at the Lo Wu Commercial building by the Hong Kong Border. I was beaten up by them because I did not want to buy the wireless transmitter and said I wanted to think about it, my mouth and arms are hurt with minor injury so I am OK. After the event for the next 3 hours I had to sit at the police station and file the report, which ends up probably nothing happened to them. China is getting more dangerous we need to make sure that we are careful not to get into trouble. Of all my years (all 18 of them) here, I have never encounter such experience, and certainly never expected to happened in "civilized city like Shenzhen". Can you send me some links to the travel sites that I can write on the forum to warn people about shopping there, as there are more and more foreigners who shops there, and 5th floor of that electronic stores are very dangerous to be at, because if one of the clerk started something the rest of the 10 or 15 stores gangs up on you. So I want to be able to warn people about this, and share my experience
Sorry x 2
Hi, JC.
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles.
I'm also sorry, but I don't really have a list of travel sites. You'll just need to use Google, I guess.
Good luck!
