Friendship Store
Can't stand crowds? Hopeless at haggling? The Friendship Store is a great place to pick up last-minute souvenirs at fixed prices, and the lack of crowds makes it possible to browse at your leisure. Prices are reasonable and give you an idea if you plan to haggle elsewhere. It has a good bookshop, carpets, antiques, an ATM and a money exchange.

Hui Jin Department Store

Qipu Market
Qipu Market is where ordinary Shanghai goes shopping for clothes. Consisting of two rundown, rabbit warren-like department stores surrounding the North Henan Rd intersection, it's one big 'everything must go now' sale here.

Shanghai No 1 Department Store
Worth a visit from an anthropological viewpoint, if nothing else. This is the quintessential Chinese department store, averaging 150,000 shoppers a day over 11 levels of merchandise.
