Shopping in Shanghai
There is no lack of opportunity to shop in Shanghai. Products range from internationally priced designer stores containing Gucci and Prada to street vendors selling everything from hand towels to fake Rolexes.
Markets
Xiang Yang Clothes Market is the most famous market among tourists in Shanghai. Dubbed the “fake market”, it is possible to buy versions of many name brand clothes, watches, sporting equipment, and luggage. Anyone interested in practicing his or her bargaining skills will love this place. Vendors seem to revel in the game. With a calculator in hand, they type in their “best price” which, at times, is up to eight times more than the “final price”. As a customer, name a price that you think is fair (at most half what they originally offer). Stick to it and walk away if they do not agree. If they don’t chase after you, you may have to increase your price. To get there; exit at the Shanxi Rd. stop on Metro Line 1 on Huaihai Rd. Head west and cross Shanxi Rd. then walk another 100 meters. On your left you will find an entrance to the market.
Large Shopping Malls
There are countless five to ten story shopping malls throughout the city. Most contain clothing and electronics stores as well as a food court and cinema. A few of the most popular destinations are listed below.
Xujiahui - Above the metro stop there are at least six shopping malls. It is easy to get lost in the maze of shops and food courts in this part of the city. There is also a city park within walking distance and an old Catholic Church.
Raffles City, near People’s Square – Take exit 5 at the People’s Square metro stop and you will come up inside this shopping mall. On the seventh floor there is a food court called MegaBits that offers fine views of People’s Park and the surrounding skyline in addition to a wide variety of Chinese foods.
Shopping Streets
While most streets have shops interspersed among restaurants and other stores, there are a couple famous shopping streets in Shanghai:
Huaihai Road – Starting at the intersection of Tibet Rd (a couple blocks south of People’s Square) and running west to the Changshu Rd stop on Metro Line 1, Huaihai Rd is one long shopping avenue. Brightly lit at night and always busy, this is a good road for people watching and shopping.
Nanjing Dong Lu (East Nanjing Road) – This road is a pedestrian walkway between the People’s Square and the Middle Henan Road Metro stop. You may see more foreigners on this street than any place in Shanghai. Restaurants, KTV (Karaoke) Bars and shops line the street with many lights after dark.
