Nanjing Shopping, China Travel Guide

As the capital city of Jiangsu Province, Nanjing (formerly known in the West as Nanking) is the political, economic, and cultural center. It is one of the ancient capitals and an outstanding tourist city. Nanjing was made the capital of ten feudal dynasties in China. It is a wealthy, prosperous city, benefiting both from its proximity to Shanghai, and from its gateway position on the Yangzi River , which stretches away west deep into China interior.

Shopping

Boasting more than 20 professional craft workshops and over ten thousand staff, Nanjing produces various kinds of handicraft. Among the different goods produced are the: cloud-pattern brocade, velvet, imitations of ancient ivory carving and wood carvings.

The Yuhua Pebble (yuhuashi) from the Yuhua Terrace is also a popular souvenir and many pebbles carry a specific tale or legend with them. The best place to buy souvenirs is in the area around Confucius Temple. Be prepared to bargain hard however, as store owners here have a tendency to over-charge foreigners!

In terms of department stores, while not quite on a par with neighboring Shanghai, most modern amenities are available in the city. There is a great department store attached to the Crowne Plaza. The area around the Universities has some good little boutiques with fairly funky clothing.
