Shenmue III Guide: Where To Find Every Chobu Chan In Niaowu (With Pictures)

Promenade (North)

The promenade continues, turning left at the entrance to Vendor Avenue, and runs all the way to Blossom Hill, comprising New Paradise. Not included is Short Break, which is unstaffed and doesn't appear to contain a Chobu Chan.

You have to go right up to the counter to see it, where it's hanging off a lantern. This is the third Shop Card in the Niaowu Dim Sum Set.

Anyone for tennis? Chobu's being served as a prize alongside the balls and rackets behind the counter.

BONG Arcade

Not only is BONG a simply fantastic name, but it also houses a fire-conscious Chobu, sat just behind the fire extinguisher underneath the stairs.

Sugar Fly

Sugar Fly is a bit sneaky, pointlessly operating out of the top floor of the BONG Game Exchange. Chobu is made out of chocolate ice cream inside the cabinet.

BONG Prize Exchange

Ys Net

Aaaand there's one in the prize exchange itself, piloting a hyperspeed silver interstellar cruiser in the central glass cabinet. Go get 'em, space cowboy.

Zhangua

You can't miss this one, stood on the right hand side of the lantern. Zhangua isn't easy to find however, reading fortunes down an alley next to the TOMATO Store. She really should have seen her bad business coming.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
