Location of first Apple Store in China

Maybe my memory is messed up, but when I went to Shanghai over Winter break just over a month ago, I could've sworn I went into and look at items in an Apple Store in a mall there.

But even if I didn't, it's not that big of a deal. I know for sure that I saw tons of Apple products in China; mostly iPods, but also MacBooks.

Philippines next!
all we have are authorized resellers. |:
I want an Asia iTMS!!

Makes sense that since they're made there they should get a store.

Typo: "it's well-established storefront" --> "its well-established storefront"

You failed to mention that Qianmen Street borders Tiananmen Square. Does Apple not remember that they used the photo of the guy standing in front of the column of tanks during the Tiananmen Square Massacre for their Think Different campaign? Not such rebels anymore, are they?

This store is not before time. Oriental Plaza Mall on WangFuJing has a small D&G Lifestyle store (Apple reseller) which is so small and off the main stretch that it doesn't get much attention, likely due to lack of foot traffic.

There's also a few other resellers around (one near JianGuoMen springs to mind) but again they are too small and too 'out of the way' to get much business.

A flagship store should set that straight but it's interesting they chose QianMen ahead of WangFuJing. I look forward to see what design they come up with.

Good for Apple.
I hope to see more Apple Stores in Asia in future.

I wonder if you get your machine serviced there if they load it with malware, trojans and cover everything with a nice toxic dust...
