Everywhere: Purple Sand (Yixing) Pottery

by RockyDaniels

Tea pots can be found whereever there are tea shops and, in China, there are more tea shops than Starbucks in the USA. Selections of Purple Sand Pottery vary with shop location, the best shops I found being in the Old Town section of Shanghai. There are at least 4 "fully-loaded" shops on Shanghai Old Road. Pottery specific shops have a large selection in the downstairs shop area. If you can find something you like, you can pick up a nice little tea pot for under $20. Haggling is expected so don't be deterred by labeled prices (which are still quite low). OTOH, Purple Sand pottery is very collectible with obvious differences in craftsmanship. If you're willing to spend a little more, ask if they have others to chose from (or make a disappointed face). They'll take you upstairs to a room full of nicer tea pots at higher prices. And if you can't find what you'll looking for there, they...

Handalong: Zhujiajiao's Preserved Vegetables

by ellyse

Traditionally, vegetables and soybean products were preserved during season so that people could still enjoy them in winter when no crops are harvested. Today, these preserved foodstuffs are still popular with Chinese for breakfast, especially in conjunction with porridge. A little bit of something could go with a whole lot of plain porridge, so it's particularly good for those wanting to save money! This shop is especially known for their fermented beancurd preserve. It might not sound very appetising (in fact, I'm not a fan of it myself) but it's highly popular among locals, so you might want to try a teeny-weeny little bit to see if it suits your taste. If not, you could at least say "been there, done that"!Otherwise, you might find the preserved dates or other preserved vegetables easier to stomach.

Xiao Tian: Granny's Snacks from Zhujiajiao

by ellyse

There're so many Granny's Dumplings in Zhujiajiao, you'll be spoilt for choice. This traditional snack has become a tourist commodity -- everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and saying that theirs is the oldest, tastiest, most traditional, most famous... whatever!Anywhere you look, there'll be the namesake "granny" sitting prominently in the storefront, making her dumplings while chit-chatting away with the staff and any other people who happen to be in the vicinity. Almost every store will have the obligatory photos plastered all over the place, proudly announcing that they were interviewed by some TV programme or magazine, etc. Or perhaps they just did some nifty Photoshopping... ;)This particular one that I've picked out is the tastiest one going by what locals say. Don't get sidetracked by all the fancy packaging on the various stores, just remember the address and street...

Xinyang/AP Market, Science & Tech Museum Metro Stn: Jackets Jeans and Shirts

by fahimk66

There are innumerable shops and the keepers try to fleece. In doing so they pull u and do not let u go out unless u have bought something from them. The things are OK, they are copies of designers and some are not. U have to sort out things before u HEAVILY BARGAIN with them and then check the sizes (really) after putting on. Tip to negotiate - start from 1/5th of the price asked by the shopkeeper and make a deal at maximum of 1/3rd the demanded price. Buy shirts, T shirts, jeans, jackets, suits, coats, ties, shoes, socks, sweaters every thing!!!! For jeans 80RMB, Shirts 40RMB, T-Shirts 30-40RMB, Shoes 80-120RMB, socks 5 RMB, ties 10-15RMB, suits 300-500RMB depending on quality, sweaters 50-75RMB, coats 100-120 RMB and the list goes on..........

Louise Berry: End of Season Sale

by yellowbell

Since it was the end of winter, Sichuan Bei (near Duolon St) was teeming with items at 50-70% discount.We were able to buy coats (see my green coat and mom's purple coat) for only 80 Yuan (used to be 200 Yuan) each. These coats sure kept us warm during our Shanghai tour especially on a cold night (6C is definitely cold for me as that's the coldest it can get in Baguio, Philippines).Dad bought his coat for 100Y (used to be 220 Yuan) at Louise's Berry.

Ties - 10 RMBScarf - 10 RMB

Ya Tai Sheng Hui Market: Ya Tai Sheng Hui Market

by honestjohn

Since the Xiang Yang Market closed in June 2006, half of the vendors in Xiang Yang moved their business into Ya Tai Sheng Hui Market. It's just located in the Shanghai Technology Museum Metro Station of No. 2 Line.It's underground, at the metro station Exit 7&8. therefore, it's very convenient to get there.Above the ground is the big square, Ya Tai Sheng Hui Square. In the square, you can not find any sign for business, even can not find a booth to buy some ice-creame or drink. Standing in the square, how can you imagine there is a so large market just under your feet.Hundreds of stalls, various products, mainly clothing related products. The shopping environment seems better than the old Xiang Yang Market, Xiang Yang is an open market, YaTaiShengHui is indoor market, air conditioned. Because it's newly opened, the market is not so crowded as the Xiang Yang. But I am sure it'll be...

Departmental stores: Xujiahui Commercial City

by aukahkay

In southwest Shanghai, the Xujiahui Commercial City covers an area of 1.2 square kilometers. This shopping district is distinctly recognised by the huge glass globe. Major departmental stores in this area include Pacific Department Store, Huijin Department Store, Sixth Department Store, Zhongxing Department Store and Xinluda Department Store. The main item to buy in these departmental stores is clothing items. The prices are reasonable by Western standards.

Yuyuan Bazaar

by victorwkf

Surrounding the famous Yuyuan Gardens of Shanghai are bazaars selling food, clothings, souvenirs etc. This is perhaps one of the most crowded places in Shanghai and definitely is a must see when you are there. Also, the architecture of the buildings here are rather nice and blend in well with the surrounding Old Shanghai area.
