Buy clothes, shoes, bags, jackets, hats, and all sorts of accessories at Qipu Road (七铺路), which sounds like “cheap” said with a Chinese accent, Shanghai’s famous and infamous wholesale shopping area. More popular with local retailers who sometimes get their stock here at wholesale prices, these shops also offer single item sales. Don’t let the chaos stop you, there are good quality clothing there for a fraction of the price in retail shops. Warning: Bargaining powers needed.

It certainly smells fishy at Shanghai’s Tongchuan Lu Seafood Market at Putuo District. Get really fresh catches 24 hours at this street lined with what they call Shanghai’s freshest seafood. Sold by weight (1 jin = approx. 500g), ask around several shops to settle on the best price. Of course, check that the shop’s catch is truly fresh (you should be seeing their sea creatures as alive and active in the tanks).
