The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

A market set in a circle dissected with several corridors. They is a lot of similar stuff all fake but some like T shirts are so cheap that who cares. I got three name brand tops ( $129 each at home ) for $20. The antiques were made yesterday so avoid them and electronics are a problem as power is different in different countries and it may not work. I would avoid the electronic stuff as power at home is an issue so check you can use it in your country or you may need adaptors etc. Access via Line 2 Metro Gate 8 is really easy. It is a 3 Yuan trip from most places in the city. Metro easy to use like the London Tube. We found the Pearl market the best place. Two in particular Lucy Jewellery and Candy near each other at the entrance. The cover the range of quality and price well below what you will pay at home.
