How to find gobans in Guangzhou (or China in general)?

General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

How to find gobans in Guangzhou (or China in general)?

Post by buffi »

I'm visiting Guangzhou for a few weeks with my fiancé, which has relatives here, and thought I'd pick up a nice and cheap goban when I'm here.

After a few days of shopping, I still haven't been able to track one down though.
I tried asking a few of her relatives if they had any idea on where to track one down, but they didn't know either.

Anyone been to Guangzhou, and know where I should look (or just to China in general, and able to provide me with some pointers?).

It would really be appreciated.

there are TONS of small stationery stores along the streets
the easiest way is to find elementary or middle schools, there must be stationery stores around them
I would say 90% of them sell Go sets
good luck!
