    Set beneath the illustrious golden Jing’an Temple in the heart of Puxi, this jewellery market caters to visitors wanting to take home a real slice of Chinese culture. Jade statues, traditional jewels and vintage antiques all sit prettily on display.

    The market is a mix of permanent stores blasting air conditioning and market stalls that pack up when the sun goes down. The stalls sell more affordable trinkets such as purses and fans, while the stores stock the more expensive jade products. This balance ensures there is something for everyone to take home.

  • Flower, Bird, Fish, and Insect Market

    What happened to Xiang Yang market? After that famous "fake" market closed its gates in 2006, many vendors relocated to Yatai Xinyang. This is a great place to buy inexpensive souvenirs, Shanghai t-shirts, chopsticks, toys, jewelry, cushion covers, and pashminas. Let the buyer beware, when it comes to fakes, you get what you pay for.
