Fuyou Antique Market

Shanghai Old City


There’s a permanent antique market here on the 1st and 2nd floors, but the place really gets humming for the Ghost Market on Sunday at dawn, when sellers from the countryside fill up all four floors and then some. Use your best haggling skills.

The range is good, but there’s a lot of junk, so you need a shrewd eye if you don’t want to pay over the odds.
