A Street---DONGTAI ROAD ANTIQUE MARKET (东台路古玩市场)

Shanghai is a great place to go treasure hunting is Dongtai Road Antique Market, and its official name is Liuhe Road Old Handicraft Market. It’s a nice change of pace from the large department stores and malls on and around Dongtai Road, just south of Hua Hai Zhonglu, near Hua Hai Park. Outdoor vendors line several streets on the outskirts of the Old Town. Antiques are few and far between and replicas, or fakes, abound but you will find plenty of vintage items, traditional crafts, curios and assorted knick-knacks. Among the stalls with embroidered slippers for bound feet, chopsticks, lanterns and furniture you will also come across Communist-era posters, calligraphy brushes and copies of The Little Red Book in several languages. Experienced antique collectors will be able to pick up some excellent buys.
