Shopping
Though not as
famous as Hong Kong or Shanghai, Chengdu has a unique shopping
culture. Besides modern shopping centers where you can buy
the newest in name-brand clothing, electronics, and more,
Chengdu has many small markets and is also famous for lacquer
ware, Brocade, and embroidery.
Clothing
Chunxi Road would
be the equivalent of Shanghai's "Nanjing Lu" or
New York's "5th Avenue." This is a nice place to
just walk around for a day or go shopping for clothing, shoes,
and other apparel.
Just north of Chunxi
Road is Wangfujin, a large department store which also offers
name brand clothing.
Tianfu Square is the
current city center and is another popular place to visit
and go shopping. It has recently undergone a major reconstruction
face-lift and will soon be one of the main sub-way stations.
Art
Chengdu has many
art stores and galleries spread throughout the city. Many
art places have simple copies that should not cost much money
at all, but authentic and original pieces can easily be found.
K Gallery
K Gallery features
art from all over China and other parts of the world and many
different events.
