Lonely Planet review for Flower, Bird, Fish & Insect Market

One of the few remaining traditional markets in town, this is the spot to go shopping for city-sized pets. There are all sorts of critters for sale, but it’s the insects that are the most remarkable. Crickets come in a variety of sizes and are sold in woven bamboo cages; pick one up for under Y30.

    A real taste of Shanghai

    jimwsmith recommends this,

    Well worth a visit (if you can find the entrance). The map marker is in the wrong place, try coming out of Dongtai Antiques market and cross the road, then look for narrow entrance ways between the shops.
