Top Tips
›
Technically, nothing over 200 years old can be taken out of China, but you'll be very lucky if you come across
any antiques that old in Shanghai. If you are buying a reproduction, make sure the dealer provides paperwork
stating that it is not an antique.

Worth a Trip
One-stop shopping in all its bargain-basement glory is found in the
AP Xinyang Fashion and Gifts Market
(
10am-8pm; Science & Technology Museum) , located in the Science & Technology Museum metro sta-
tion. There's an entire fabric market here (for tailored clothing), rows upon rows of pearls, plus all the usual sus-
pects: shoes, sports equipment, T-shirts, electronics… Bargain hard.
