Shopping in Guìlín

  1. Zhongshan Lu Night Market

    For jewellery, clothing, souvenirs and pretty much anything else you can think of, check out Guìlín's cavorting Zhongshan Lu Night Market . Flung up with bright lights every night from 19:00 to 23:30 along an extensive strip of Zhongshan Zhonglu all the way from Wumei Lu north to Jiefang Xilu, there's a copious strip of stalls selling jade, jewellery, clothing, bags, name chops, perfume and tons of other consumables and trinkets.

    A further tourist night market sets up towards the southern end of Zhengyang Lu, but you will have to contend with the persistent xiǎojie (young girls) latching onto males and asking if 'massagey' or, more bluntly, 'sex' is required.
