Beijing Lu Pedestrian Street This is the main shopping thoroughfare, a pedestrian street where most stores are open from 9AM-10PM.

This is a place where young people hang out and shop. (Metro 1, 2 Gong Yuan Qian – Exits C, D)

Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street This shopping area is also a showcase of traditional Cantonese architecture. It is particularly pretty at night when it’s light up. Prices here are generally lower than Beijing Lu’s, but prepare to bargain a fair bit. Remember to visit Liwan Plaza, located at No.9 Dexing Lu, the east end of the street. (Metro 1 Chang Shou Lu – Exits D1, D2.) You will find a good selection of crystal here.

Onelink Plaza At first glance, this looks like a regular shopping mall but it is actually a wholesale market. Each shop usually sells just one type of product but the selection and variety of products is enormous, you’ll find variations of products you won’t find anywhere else. You can buy products such as arts and crafts, jewelry, sporting goods, toys, key chains, collectibles and gifts of all types. Many store and boutique owners from all over the world come here to buy their products wholesale. You will get the best prices if you buy in bulk (usually 20 or more). Most shop owners will not bargain unless you buy in bulk. However, if you only buy one or two items, the prices are usually cheaper than anywhere else since you are buying directly from the wholesaler.(at No.39 Jie Fang Nan Lu)
