Xiang Yang Market + Pudong

Went to the most popular shopping place in town, the infamous Xiang Yang Market. As articulated, it sells 'fake' various range of branded stuff goods, from sunglasses, bags, shoes, sports wear to winter clothes. You can see many brands around such as Nike, Adidas, CK, Burberry, Hugo Boss, Fendi, Prada, LV, Gucci etc!

Haggling plays an important role here.. First, you have to act as a foreigner, do NOT speak Chinese even if you understand what they say. Second, haggle to 25% of the original price, say if the price given was RMB 100 then state RMB 20 or RMB 25. Let them lower their price until 40%, then you can up your price to 30%. Else, walk off! Most of the sellers, 98%, will grab you back and agree to your price!

One important thing to remember is do NOT be afraid to lose a bargain as there are many stores selling the same things. If you can't get a good bargain in one store, you'd most probably get it in another store!

I got myself a nice pair of Puma shoes for RMB 85- original price was RMB 380, and a nice Adidas gym bag for RMB 30!

Hunted few nice sports wear and winter clothes.. I'm going back for more! Yeah!! :D

Night was spent with Yang Peng in Pudong area. We had a modest Korean BBQ dinner at Zhen Da Guang Chang. Afterwards, he brought me to Bing Jiang Da Dao I think for sightseeing. It's a riverside of Huang Pu Jiang facing The Bund. The view was spectacular at night!





















Look at the BIG LCD screen!! It's 20 floor height!
















Spectacular view at The Bund.. too bad my camera can't capture the brightness ;(
