Guangzhou Shopping

4 more images

This new supermarket stocks some jaw-dropping forgotten ingredient of Western food if you been a China for any considerable length of time and find food shopping difficult or unexciting.

Laid out like a British supermarket, be absorbed in the bakery section and work your way on round past the cheeses to the Canton crocodile.

Prices are a bit more than average but for all the trouble finding branches of Carrefour or WalMart/Tescos on short trips to built up areas, this is a convenient and eye-opening stop.

What to buy: Thanksgiving and presumably Christmas turkeys were on offer on an A-frame outside the main doors. Import products from alcohol to cheese, cereal and a great selection of tinned food (beans, frankfurters and such) great for the expat travelling further back into the mainland. These supplies will last a long time and can stock up on a foreigner's condiment supplies.

What to pay: A wisely invested few hundred Yuan can last months. Great booze section too! Worth splashing out.

Figurines are sold at wholesale price. Usually, they will not give discounts to tourist, especially when they know what countries you are from cos they know that these are sold much more expensive in your countries. So dont be afraid to keep pressing the price down,does not hurt to try. :D

Though they keep saying that prices are lowest, wholesale price. Right before us after we made payment, someone got discount....

And, never underestimate the power of "Walking Away". If u cant get what u want at the price u want it, walk away, they will start slashing the price. Got a bag which was priced at 85RMB to 45RMB. Jus by saying we come back later, and walked away. She slashed to 60RMB then 45RMB. Deal! Even if they dont slash when u walk away, worry not, there will be more shops. And if cant find, then go back and get it. No harm.

What to buy: Fan of figurines, get it there. Figurines priced at S$100+ can be got at S$20 there. The figurines are also very detailed and pretty.

What to pay: Depending on whether u getting alot or little. We got ard 10 figurines, total spend RMB700.

This mall is huge, used to be the biggest in Asia. All prices here are set prices and you cannot bargain, all of the stores are nice and there are many western brand name stores along with a lot of chiense brand name stores. You can pretty much buy anything here, mens and ladies clothing, jewelery, baby shops and whatever else you need. there is also restaurants inside on the 5th floor and a little mini fair aswell.

What to buy: Whatever you like.

What to pay: All depends.

Galaxy Computer Plaza is located in Guangzhou's technology and business district, called Tian He... The Plaza includes three huge floors and a basement level full of every kind of modern electronic goods you may need, especially computers and computer accessories... The facility itself is fairly modern and well staffed...

Near the Garden Hotel and just behind the Guangzhou World Trade Center, you'll find Taojin Lu, a street that passes through a great shopping area for clothes, especially women's clothes... Shooting off from Taojin Lu, there are many small side streets, each of which has a share of small, independent fashion shops, with funky names, designs and clothes...! Definitely one of the best areas to shop if you're looking for unique items at reasonable prices... In this photo, a shop named "Blue"...

Park n' Shop is China's answer to the American chains of superstores like Walmart and Target... Here, you can find all kinds of everyday household goods, personal grooming products, electronic goods, toys, and even a grocery store... Prices are quite reasonable...
