    The Hongqiao New World Pearl market is furthest from the city center, the least crowded and least chaotic. The first floor features standard knock-off-ery: handbags, wallets, souvenirs, shoes. As you move up, there is an extensive jewelry market with pearls in every variation, size and color. The Stuff Hongqiao New World Pearl market includes a tapestry shop, with tons of carpets, cushions and home décor items that we haven’t seen at any of the other locations. There's also sports equipment, including tennis and badminton rackets, and balls. Many stalls are lined with fabrics in all colors and textures. There are great places to design a dress or get a custom fitted suit! Tailored clothing: Fake markets are fun, but for high-quality, lasting apparel, you're better off finding a tailor for a custom-made piece. Hongqiao New World Pearl market is certainly not the only place to get clothes tailored to your specifications. Shanghai (and for that matter, China) is full of talented and afforadable tailors. Best Buys Pearls are the best purchase at this market. The second and third floors (now under renovation) house boutiques that sell pre-made pieces. You can also design your own jewelry from a wide selection of pearls and jade. There is a massive toy store, Wish Toy, equipped with every sticker, Lego and stuffed animal you could think of. Pro-tip: The pearls you find here should be real, but for your reference, whenever you shop for pearls, check for fakes by scratching the pearl's surface with scissors. Most vendors will provide scissors in order to prove their pearls' authenticity. If powder scratches off, then you know the pearl's real -- if nothing scratches off, you know it's plastic. What can I get for RMB200? Silk and cashmere scarves begin at RMB75-150 and vary depending on the material, quality and dimensions. Grab a 22x14cm photo of Shanghai’s skyline or native people to adorn your walls for RMB50, though you can haggle and get three for RMB100. Luggage is also a great buy, with prices starting at RMB100 for carry-ons.

    A short walk from Tianmen subway station and more or less opposite Temple of Heaven, Pearl Market is a cool place with plenty of bargains if you're prepared to haggle with the stall holders. There's a huge food court in the basement if you get hungry.

    Not as a big as other markets. Location is hassle free, variety is ok, and prices are good. One of the few remnants of the "old" expats markets of the late 90's. Close to foreigners street

    I have known it for years and now it is not very crowded, after the Covid pandemic. You can buy pearls. Custom suits, suitcases and jewelry accessories.

    This place is full of pearl jewelry shops and custom made tailor shops. It’s a three floor building with very less shop. If you are looking for cheap market place to shop for clothing and shoes than this is not the place. It’s not recommended until and unless you really want to buy good pearl jewelry or you want to stitch a dress. Some people get confused pearl market Shanghai with Beijing pearl market. Beijing pearl market is full of pearls I mean raw pearls but this place in Shanghai is only with pearl jewelry. Price was it’s ok not so cheap though. If you really want to explore than only you can go but there are not much option for shopping.

    Love this place for fake shopping and textiles. Never bought pearls, but lots to choose from. Bargain hard and choose your shops carefully!
