To be more informative,I suggest you go to Chenghuang Temple where has the most typical Chinese food and clothing with rather low prices and good quality. Being a foreigner, you will find it's the most interesting places you have traveled. Fantastic Chinese culture with alive performance,unforgetable dumpling with nice noodle.Beautiful gold buddha and necklace. If you want further details,please mail me at yahoo.com.cn|daniellecn I will help if i could.

At the intersection of Huaihai Zhong Lu and Xiangyang Lu, Xuhui (between the Shaanxi Nan Lu and Changshu Lu Metro stations), you'll find Shanghai's version of Beijing's famous Silk Alley--and a real find. The starting price is noticeably lower here. The Western-branded merchandise, such as jeans, shirts, coats, shoes, handbags, sells for a fraction of retail.

And do check every button and stitch--there are no returns here.
