Shopping in China: The Shanghai Markets (Part 2)

We continue to know more markets of Shanghai and we found the Shanghai longhua. It is a market where you can find clothes and gifts everywhere. It is an open-air market, full of street stalls offering very cheap merchandise. If you want to get here you should go to the following address: Calle Longhua 2465. One reference is that it is very close to the Longhua Temple so you can tell the taxi driver to bring you here without any problem. It is also necessary to indicate that the vendors open their stalls at 10 in the morning, until 6 in the afternoon. It's actually a lot like Yatai Xinyang Market so you can find many counterfeit objects.

Let's meet another fabric market. Its about Shanghai Shiliu Puhong Qixiang. Like the previous fabric market, also has 3 floors full of tailor shops. Its location is also known by all the inhabitants of the city as it is very close to the Yuyuan Gardens, specifically on Dongmen Street. This market is open to the public from 10 in the morning until 6 in the afternoon. The good thing about this place is that it is not as touristy as others, so walking through it is much quieter. However, that does not mean that they have less variety or quality. On the contrary, here you can find cashmere, silk, linen, wool and cotton products at very cheap prices. Do you dare to buy a garment?
