Shanghai Shopping

Being one of the most prosperous cities in the world, Shanghai is the place where you can buy almost anything. Hence its fame of the "Shopping Paradise". The main shopping streets offer so many international brand-names. But if you are not interested in fashion and prefer shopping at outdoor markets, try Shanghai's numerous free markets and traditional Chinese open-air markets. Shopping in these markets with cultural specialty you can also see traditional side of Shanghai.
