buying silk in Shanghai- where to buy?
Mar 18, 2012, 7:00 PM
Shanghai is our last stop before heading home and so I plan to make it my place to shop. I would like to buy some of the Suzhou embroidery as well as scarves, clothes, etc. Experience in other parts of Asia has told me that local supermarkets/ stores often have the same items and provide a good guide to price. Can anyone help me with suggestions about places I can purchase things? I am going to Tongli via Suzhou railway station but won't have time to travel to Suzhou proper and so i was hoping I could get the same thing or similar in Shanghai. I have read in previous posts that Carrefour is good for quilts. We are staying in the French concession area. Thanks for any advice/suggestions.
