A
Wushan Lu Night Market
Hángzhōu is well known for its tea, in particular Longjing (Dragon Well) green tea as well as silk, fans and, of all things, scissors. You can find all these things at the bustling Wúshān Lu Night Market, as well as touristy kitsch. Fake ceramics jostle with ancient pewter tobacco pipes, Chairman Mao memorabilia, silk shirts and pirated CDs. Get the gloves off and haggle hard if something catches your eye. It's been relocated to Huixing Lu ( 惠兴路 ) between Youdian Lu ( 邮电路 ) and Renhe Lu ( 仁和路 ).

Carrefour Shopping Centre
For picnics, head to Carrefour Shopping Centre which has a good selection of imported foods. On the weekends, shopping here feels like being caught in a stampede.

Hángzhōu Market
For silk, try the Hángzhōu Market , a couple of blocks east of Zhonghe Beilu. The silk area starts on the north side of Fengqi Lu. Make sure you check that the silk is genuine and not a polyester clone (it should feel smooth and soft between your thumb and finger).
