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.

Vanishing Tribes
Attractive handicrafts from Dong, Miao, Yao and other ethnic groups, including hand-embroidered shoes and bags amid piles of glistening, elaborate silver jewellery. It's not cheap, but push for the wholesale price to get bargaining under way.
