Mac or Apple Retail Store in Guangzhou, China ?

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me if there is a Mac or Apple Store in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China ? If so, what's the address ?
I read a news article saying that there are locations in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but I can't find anything in english about where the last one is. I'm one hour outside of Guangzhou and need to get some Mac adaptors for my macbook. People tell me I can go to the Computer City near Tian He Lu and find Mac Resellers and even used Macs but if I can find a real Mac Store, I would feel like I'm in better hands.
Thanks for any help you can offer. Vee.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.7), 1.25 gig RAM, 80 gig HDD

You're an hour from GZ? Which direction? If you're in Shenzhen your best bet might be to go to Hong Kong. Not sure if there is an Apple retail store there, but there a ton of resellers:

These are their addresses and phone numbers. I think you can figure out which one is landline and which ones are cell phone numbers. Hope this helps

I figured i could also give a hand here as a native speaker. The address he gave you in Pinyin/english is:

No. 50 Jian Zhong Rd.,
Jia Du interantional tower (or building, whatever they call it), Tian He Software Zone,
Guangzhou

I found this one that might be nearby by following the link he gave you:

No. 19-21 Tian He Nan Er Rd.,
Hong Fa building, RM. 505
Guangzhou

Those we suggested are all resellers (I don't think there is any real Apple store in mainland china. currect me if im wrong). Finding an apple retailer in China is not very easy, either, since Macs are much less popular there than in the US.

Excellent.... now if only I could read chinese ! Does anybody read chinese that can pull the address and phone number off of that page and post it for me in english ? I tried the link but my computer couldn't open the page. Not that it would have helped me.... but still it would have been fun to see it.
And can you tell me if it's an actual Apple store or a " reseller " ? Someone told me they saw lots of MacBooks being sold in the Computer City Mall ( several floors of different computer shops ) near Tian He Lu. Is that where this shop is ?
Thanks for your efforts. Vee.

If you speak English, I might also recommend you find your way to Hong Kong. I went to at least three Apple Centers in Hong Kong and they each had all the adapters and gadgets you'd need. If you can get to Guangzhou in an hour, Hong Kong is only two hours further. If you end up at the Hung Hom train station in Hong Kong, you can walk to the Star House building at the very southern tip of Kowloon where there's an Apple Centre on the third or fourth floor.

Hello EnochPeng,
Thank you very much for the phone numbers. Since I'm going into Guangzhou I will copy these for the taxi to take me. I can't read Chinese characters at all, so I can't even try to pronounce them. Would you mind spelling the Pinyin for me so that I can try to at least read the signs in front of the shop ?
Also are these Apple Resellers or the real Apple Store ?
As far as going into Hong Kong, I'd love to do that .... but my passport is being processed for a one year work visa so I can't leave mainland China until it comes back. Too bad, Hong Kong would be a lot easier for an english speaker and I know they have a real Apple store there. They also can't ship into mainland China for some reason so that option is out as well.
Thanks very much for your help. Vee.
