Which stores in China stock The Adventures of Tintin?

I am not looking for pirated editions. Official versions exist, according to this website.

If there are any fans in China here, where can they be found in the mainland? My family's Chinese and I'm sure they would appreciate it if I could bring them copies of the albums in their native language, especially when one member cannot read English at all, and another member is bad at it.

No idea, sorry; however, if you are based in Australia, as according to your profile, you might be interested to know that the official Tintin albums in (simplified) Chinese are readily available from the following bookstores in Sydney:

Language Book Centre (131 York St)
www.languagebooks.com.au

Kinokuniya (500 George St)

I'm on a tour in China. I actually set the Tintin comic search to my #1 priority on the list and really want to purchase them in China.

But I did board my plane in Sydney. I'll be going back soon, then finally move back to Melbourne.

The shops mentioned in my previous post all do Web and mail orders.
I wish you safe travels.

I found them at the Guangzhou Book Centre. It is a huge bookstore with six floors. The Tintin comics are on the second floor. I bought all 16 available, because they don't stock the whole series. They cost RMB$10 each, which is only AUD$3 or AUD$4 each.

And obviously, Tintin in the Land of the Soviets was not published.

Hello,
If you know Chinese then the Chinese version may be not very difficult to get. Just go to the Amazon bookstore in China(http://www.amazon.cn/gp/homepage.html?ver=gp) and search "丁丁历险记"(which is Chinese for The Adventures of Tintin), then you can see all the 22 official books of Tintin(there is not Tintin in the Land of the Soviets). Tintin and the Alph-art has been published, but it is not easy to approach.
It should be noticed that there are two Chinese versions: one is published in 2004, one in 2009.
