Shopping for Fakes
by litekimchi about Xian Yang Market
If you're looking for kitsch and tacky goods, the Xian Yang Market is the place for you. You will find all kinds of fake leather goods, clothes and accessories. If you want anything fake, you go here. I bought Chinese silk blazers for Y500 for 2. I could've gotten a better deal, but I like it so much I couldn't resist. I also bought fake Rayban sunglasses--2 for Y110. I also bought a fake Le Sport Sac bag for Y50. I got my dad a stainless steel flask for Y60. They only accept cash, so bring lots of it!
Modern Chinese Cuisine
by kphstar about Ye Shanghai
This was a place we stumbled onto, and what a find. The restuarant has a great ambiance, and the service to match. The menu is tradtional yet creative with a stight modern twist. This is one of the must palces if you're travelling to Shanghai. The smoke duck is a dish to remember.
Yu Garden - Chinatown
by xiquinho
This is a wonderfully harmonious series of halls, pavilions, ponds and streams set in a classical Chinese garden. It was designed by a Ming Dynasty Mandarin named Yu or his parents and truly evokes the special elegance of this great era.
Old Town
by Willettsworld
Shanghai's Old Town area is the old Chinese district of Nanshi, literally "southern city". It included the old, walled city as well as the nearby docklands on both sides of the Huangpu River. Shanghai County was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. A city wall was built to repel the Wokou, and this Ming Dynasty wall defined the extent of urban Shanghai for the next few centuries. In 1842, the area north of the old city was established as the British concession in Shanghai, which later became the Shanghai International Settlement. At the time, the concession was referred to by locals as the "northern city" while the walled Chinese city was the "southern city". The old Nanshi district retains a number of important sights, including the City God Temple and the nearby Yu Yuan Garden as well as snack, antique and souvenir shops.
