298 Computer Zone

298 Computer Zone is a technology retail center in Wan Chai that spreads across multiple floors offering computer components, smartphones, peripherals, and electronic accessories. The building houses specialized shops, repair workshops, and custom computer builders all in one location.

The building was converted into a specialized technology hub in the late 20th century as Hong Kong grew into a major electronics trading center. This shift reflects the growing demand for computers and electronic products across Asia during that period.

Local technology enthusiasts gather at this marketplace to exchange knowledge about computer hardware, discuss specifications, and negotiate prices with experienced vendors.

The center is located near Wan Chai Station and is easy to reach by public transportation. Visitors should expect shops to be closely packed together and find that prices are often negotiable.

The marketplace operates similarly to traditional Chinese trading floors, where negotiation and building relationships with sellers is part of the shopping experience. This blend of modern retail with classic trading practices makes the place distinctive for visitors.
