Shopping in Hangzhou

Key areas: 

Qinghefang Old Street, an unashamedly touristy recreation of old Hangzhou, is great fun for a wander, offering bundles of souvenir possibilities as well as tasty snacks and traditional Chinese medicine. It's also one of the many places around town where you can buy the city's famous Longjing tea. And it's a just a stone's throw from Gaoyin Jie, one of the city's busiest restaurant strips.

Markets: 

Relocated to Huixing Lu, the bustling evening street market still known as Wushan Lu Night Market (1800-2300) sells clothing and souvenirs. Better quality clothing can be found at the Silk Market, Xijiankang Lu (0800-1730, which contains a string of silk shops and clothing stores in a block just north of Fengqi Lu.

Opening hours: 

Shops are generally open from 1000 to 2200, seven days a week
