Chinese antiques are desired the world over. Pieces of jade and pottery command enormous prices and excitement for both amateur and specialist. Shanghai has a wide range for the antique shopper; from huge auction houses, to dozens of tiny shops filled with interesting mementos. Find shops stacked to the ceiling with an enormous amount of art deco and earlier home furnishings and decorative accessories. Even the 1960s take their place, with several shops specializing in political posters of the Cultural Revolution.

For the fashion forward, Shanghai is emerging as Asia 's hot spot for new design, as talented designers flock to its cosmopolitan centre. Formerly quiet laneways of the French Concession have become the new domain for chic boutiques. New materials and accessories compete with creative interpretations of traditional costumes. Off-the-rack choices may tempt you, but just a couple of days gives you the freedom to tailor-make your dream creations.

For a bit of local colour, step into a Chinese market. Haggle over modern gadgets in one, chose your fish for dinner in another or see experts trading and training their birds, for example, or betting on their crickets' fighting abilities.
