Entering Huaqiangbei Electronic World, the students felt as though they were in a vast technology maze. They were greeted by rows of small stalls, each filled with various electronic components on display. The narrow aisles were crowded with students in purple attire, who, intrigued by the array of electronic products and the unique pricing of Huaqiangbei, observed everything with curiosity.

Next, we entered the Huaqiangbei Museum, where a small guide led us through a captivating narrative and historical photos. This journey through intertwined stories felt like a time travel, showcasing Huaqiangbei's transformation from a small fishing village to a renowned international electronics market. After the tour, the guide asked Professor Zhang Songhai from Tsinghua University for an autograph, leaving a memorable mark of our visit to Huaqiangbei.
