This market’s name is misleading. While there is silk sold here, it is famed as the place to buy fake goods in China and ranks high on many visitors hit-lists. The market was recently moved from its outdoor location to a six-story building a bit along the road, and has lost some of its character in the process – but not its bargains.
In spite of recent attempts to sue the market by Burberry, Chanel, Gucci, Luis Vuitton and Prada, the stalls continue to prosper and are now officially sanctioned to the extent that you can get a receipt (which costs an extra ¥5) and can return goods within a month.
Spread over the six levels, you’ll find sporting goods, electronics, jewelry and occasional silk items. If you’re happy with
“stealing” from the likes of Calvin Klein and O’Neill then you’ll find plenty to fill your shopping bags.
