Shanghai Antique and Curio Store

Shanghai Antique and Curio Store Review

A pleasant departure from the touristy shops in the area, this government-owned store is an excellent place to gauge whether you are being taken for a ride elsewhere. Goods start with small pieces of embroidery, and range from ceramics to wedding baskets (traditionally used to hold part of the bride's dowry). Be aware that some of the pieces may not be taken out of the country, as a sign in the ceramics store warns.
