There are three main spots to go to around town. The one housed in the building near Wushan square's prices are higher, but they have a nice selection of seeds and other accessories. The one on Gucui Road is a little closer to nature, is larger and also has a nice antique furniture shop upstairs. And finally there is the Airport road venture. It is far away, so make sure you are ready to do some shopping Drum Tower Antique Market 鼓楼古董市场 Zhonghe Central Rd. and Hefang Street 中河中路和河坊 街 If you're in the Hefang Jie area, make the five-minute walk to the Drum 1i o wer and check out the little Antique market they have set up there. It's really informal Basically, people come and lay their wares out on the ground for people to peruse. It gives the feel of a small village market. But get there well before nightfall; peddlers start heading home early Gaoxin Computer Market 高新电脑城 35 Wensan Rd. 文三路 35 号 ,56772380 This place has just about everything a tech geek would ever need. Been fancying an iPod? They've got plenty and all the things that go with. In addition, they have a mad collection of digital cameras and all their cool accessories. The selection of computer pa 叫 s can be overwhelmi 吨 , but if you are going to buy a desktop c o mputer, go to shops that will let you buy parts.

Need a tripod? There are over 50 kinds to choose from. Lighting? They've got it. As f, o r video cameras, you can get one f, o r 4-5000RMB.

It's especially great for the guys-jackets, suits, shirts. Of course there's stuff for the chicks too. It's no Si
Renhe Rd. and Huixing Rd. 仁和路和惠兴路 As far as many can remember, it was 白 rst beside the lake. It was then moved to Wushan road and now it starts at the junction of Huixin road and Renhe road. An outdoor night market is a common thing in many cities, s o it is hard to find anything that unique, but it is worth a trip all the same. There are a variety of items and gifts for the young and old. They even have some hard to find m o vies. Start the bargaining with a low price, and get tough but not too tough. L o sing s o mething you want over a few RMB is just not worth it Saturday Morning Antique Market 周六上午古董市场 Next to N o .2 Department Store, Wenhui Rd. and Hushu South Rd. 杭州第二百货商店旁边 , 文晖路和湖墅南路交界 o There are some secrets that are too good to reveal, and this might be one of them. It is hard to find many good antiques at the various markets around the city but this is the exception. Get up early, and be one of the first to arrive on Saturday morning, and there is sure to be a bunch of things to grab. A good tip is to look at what all the old guys are 10 o king at; they know m o re than most about what is authentic Secondhand Market 二手货市场 Shaoxing Rd 绍兴路 , (no street number) 85351720 If you are only planning t o live here for a short whi 怡 , the stupidest thing to do is to buy new appliances for the apartment. Go for the used stuff and save that money for dinner or beer. The sec o ndhand market looks a bit dubious, but don't be intimidated. Sometimes the quality is not the greatest, but most everything is returnable. Just go for middle-of-the-road stuff, and it is usually fine Remember to take a name card with your address in Chinese, and get a name card when buying something Three-wheeled bicycle drivers are reliable, as long as they have the address, and if they don't show up, which is very rare, or something breaks, the seller's card will lead you back to your refund Sijiching Clothes Market 四季青服装外贸市场 29-39 Hanghai Rd 杭海路 29-39 号 ,86962822 If you're looking for stylish clothes (can't really promise that the labels are authentic) go here. Granted, you're going to have to take y o ur time searching for the right place that has the kind of clothes, shoes, etc. you're into There are about a dozen individual buildings with tons of shops to choose from inside. Be prepared to bargain Sure, you can also bargain on Wulin road, but this is where they go to get their stuff wholesale. Don't be misled, though, this place is not for the pansy-assed shopper |
