Very interesting place to visit, but expect to buy nothing. What this place has to offer is an old narrow street neighbourhood transformed into a tourist targeted commercial area. That means: unique experience, good architecture, cute local stores selling tid bits that you don't actually needs, small cafes / restaurants and not so cheap prices. It's better to visit this...

A artsy place to view the local craft work & quirky find. A line of alfresco eatery soak within old Shanghai, its really a love mix new & old. I will certainly revisit this place again!

Loved the wandering little maze of streets with cool shops, funky resturants and bars, its a comforting scale compared to the rest of the city.

What a great and interesting place to visit - although it's bustling and packed even "off-peak" so keep your wits about you and expect all your senses to be bombarded!

You my be paying a little extra here but what a great place to spend an hour or so to shop or take a drink. This place is a maze of small alleyways with a thousand tiny shops selling almost anything. It is worth a visit just for the atmosphere, soak up a peice of real China in an otherwise... More

This little complex is very touristy and usually packed but its cute. The old Shukomen houses have all been renovated into little shops, art and crafts, nick knacks, jewellery and restaurants and bars. Its good fun and I can recommend Kommune for a great bite to eat, they serve soup in the old style thermos flasks, cute.

A lovely area to wander, purchase unusual gifts and grab a drink or bite to eat. Not 'authentic' if you're looking for a traditional China experience, but charming and worthwhile in it's own right.

Its very nice to mosey around if its not too packed with tourists. Expect nice restaurants of every cuisine (and the toilet themed restaurant!), quaint cafes, kitschy knick knacks and spending the tourist dollar. Lots of great little bars too! Brunch at Kommune is also great if you're willing to wait on the weekends. A nice way to spend an... More

I went here with my daughter one morning to walk around. There are (overpriced) restaurants and various shops selling souvenirs, clothing, accessories, etc. It is fun to walk around for an hour or so, but in my opinion, the surrounding streets outside this market area are a lot more fun and totally authentic!
