I visited this place twice to fulfill my shopping needs. There's even a bank at the Ground Floor (Bank of China) whereby we can easily do our currency exchange here if we are in need of cash RMB as all of the shops in here does not accept major credit or charge card. This plaza offers many small outlets that sells :- 1) Clothes (man, woman & children) 2) Accessories (watches, pearl bracelets/necklace, belt etc.) 3) Bags 4) Shoes 5) Table cloth / Bedsheet / Bed spread etc. As an advise or tips for shopping. Please do survey to the maximum to each outlet so that you can select/choose the right/reasonable price of the item that you wanted to buy. The trick is, if you wanted to buy a jacket, go to one outlet then from the opening price by the seller, bargain it for 70% (e.g if RMB100.00, bargain to RMB30.00). If the seller do not want to accept our price, said thank you then straightly walk out from the shop, just see the reaction of the seller whether he/she will call you back to bargain more or agree with your price. If there's no reaction from them, we should know that our price is not reasonable for them. Go to the next shop, select the same item, bargain again with slightly high bargain price from the 1st shop. In this case, bargain for RMB30.00(same price), if the seller insist, up another RM10.00, make it RM40.00. Use the same strategy which is say thank you and walk out from the outlet. Do this until one outlet agreed with the pricing. Always bargain the minimum although you will think that the price you wanted to say is ridicilous. I'll tell you what, I bought a imitation Giorgio Armani jacket for RMB90.00 from the opening price of RMB1400.00. Crazy huh?
1) Imitation item such as cloth, jacket, shoes, watches etc. 2) Freshwater pearl. 3) Football / Soccer jersey
Bringing RMB1000.00 is considered good enough to have you to bring lots of plastic bags full of items to your hotel room. Theme: OtherAddress: Fenshine Fashion & Accessories 580 Nanjing Xi Lu

Many people recommend Nanjing Lu for shopping in Shanghai. This is a good place, if you're looking for high-end goods and the big brands. But to me, you can find these shops in major cities around the world, and you're not going to find it any cheaper in Shanghai. So I prefer to give it a miss. Along Shan Xi Nan Lu, there are entire streets of shops dedicated to outlet fashion. Many big names manufacture in China, and these shops carry factory overruns or samples, so sometimes you get stuff even before they are launched in the new season. You can get clothes and shoes at a very reasonable price, but as with normal outlet shopping, look out for manufacturing defects. Another great street is Huai Hai Zhong Lu and Chang Shu Lu. Similar concept as Shan Xi Nan Lu, just even more shops to choose from. You just got to be mindful that some shops sell the real thing, but some others sell fakes as well. So if you have a local friend who's into the shopping scene, try to get tips on which shops to go to. Bring cash as well, as many shops don't accept credit cards.

| | | | Xiangyang clothings and souvenir market: Cheap clothings and souvenirs | Tip Rating: | | | | |
The market is located opposite the Xiangyang Park along Huai Hai Zhong Road (nearest metro station is Shanxi Nan Road Stop). The market consists of hundreds of small stores selling many things - apparels (children, adult), imitation goods, silk scarves, bags, cushion covers, tablerunners, jewellery, chinese decorations, shoes and many more. As I have mentioned in the 'Tourist traps' section, one will have to bargain real hard at this market as very often, asking prices are skyhigh especially for foreigners. I can't really advise on what's the lowest possible prices to bargain for...but I did manage to get a silk scarve for 25RMB, a haversack for 60RMB, a set of baby chinese custume for 50RMB. I'm not that good a bargainer (i pretty much just asked for slightly less than 1/2 of the asking price)...so an expert bargainer will probably be able to get much lower prices.
If you are into chinois-theme home furnishings, do check out the cushion covers, tablecloths, tablerunners, fabric placemats and coasters. Ladies might want to buy some silk scarves for yourselves or as gifts for friends. Clothings and shoes are reasonably cheap for both men and women. Unfortunately, I was there during winter so the shops are carrying mainly winter clothings and footwear which aren't really suitable for wear in sunny Singapore.
Keep your credit cards in the hotel. Expect to pay cash at the stores. Between 15-30RMB for silk scarves of various sizes, 20-50RMB for children's clothings, 30-60RMB for medium size haversacks. These are based on my personal experiences, perhaps if you have a local friend, he/she might be able to advise more accurately on pricing of goods.
