What travelers are saying
- Manila U1 contributionThere are at least 3 multi-storey malls along the street, so after going to bai ma there are 2 others to hit. Each one has numerous stores selling clothes, shoes, even jewelry, all at cut rate prices. A lot of dross mixed in with the good stuff so patience is a virtue. Easy access by subway. While you can usually negotiate a lower price if buying in bulk, drawback is most shops don't let you try on the clothes before buying.Written April 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Douglas MGuangzhou, China2,378 contributionsJust like two years ago SWMBO and I wearing face masks boarded the 181 bus at its terminus just around the corner. We had our temperatures checked and sat in the air-conditioned bus for the journey across the city to the medicine and spice market where SWMBO bought tea and some dried orange peel which SMBO assures is a great addition to tea and soups.
We then carried on walking to the pedestrian walkway which spans the monstrous traffic intersection, climbed the circular stairs and then descended to the ancient foot bridge onto Shamian Island.
We walked around Shamian Island and indulged in a cup of tea and a slice of cake (expensive and mediocre) each while sheltering from the afternoon heat and humidity (36C and 70%). Be aware that everything is expensive on Shamian Island.
We then retraced our steps, crossed the bridge, and headed for the fish market.
Its official name is Huangsha Aquatic Products, but everybody calls it The Fish Market. All I can say about the market that if comes out of the sea and it’s not a submarine it’s for sale in the market.
Just be aware there’s water and ice everywhere because the aquatic products are expected to be fresh. The smell is also rather overpoweringly fishy. Also be aware that the rolling pin on a stall isn’t for rolling pastry but for killing fish, if you’re a little squeamish best not to watch or you won’t enjoy your next fish dinner.
It’s a busy place with huge trucks squeezing through the narrow roads while mopeds and tuck-tucks weave in between.
Oh dear! The price of salmon has nearly doubled since our last visit. Nothing under ¥100 a jin, and SWMBO settled for a stall selling at ¥108 a jin.
Note: salmon in Chinese is 三文鱼 （san, wen, yu）。
Note: a jin is half a kilo, i.e 500 grams, and it’s the most common weight measure in China. There are 460 grams to the pound.
SWMBO bought five jin. Two as a present to a good friend, and three for me. The salmon was sliced in very nice ‘steaks’ contrary to the usual thin slices used for sushi in the Japanese restaurants and take-aways dotted around the city.
Another jin of alive shrimps was also popped into our shopping bag. All packed in ice for our taxi ride home.
SWMBO cooked me a salmon steak with garlic, onion and chill, accompanied by plain boiled white rice for dinner. I washed it down with a glass or three of Great Wall Chardonnay. A delicious end to an afternoon’s adventure.Written July 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Bought my wedding dress for £400 but there are a lot of dresses lower than this around £150. Any wedding attire and accessories you will find here at a good price. They all speak mandarin and Cantonese maybe a little English. We stayed at Guangzhou hotel so was easy access to the market as it’s just over the bridge.Written November 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KodoDrummerBuenos Aires, Argentina65,243 contributionsAbout 50% of the time I visit the Comic Coty underground mall, I purchase one or more anime figures. I often come across a piece to add to my collection. Beware of fakes.Written March 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pradeep ANew Delhi, India418 contributionsIt is basically wholesale clothing market and very crowded place. Thousand of tiny shops are situated here selling different types of readymade garments.Written November 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CazaliVila Nova de Gaia, Portugal200 contributionsThis is an amazing street of shop after shop, and multi-story buidings, selling every kind of fabric known to woman, plus trims, buttons, and any thing else a clothing manufacturer would want. If you are a dressmaker or just love fabric, it's worth a visit for the experience. However, most shops cater for manufacturers, and only have samples (you order and go back), or only sell large amounts - and mostly fabric is sold by the kilo!
A great alternative is the Highsun Fabric Market, smaller, but still with lots of options and still very good prices. I like the building to the right of the intersection, if you stand with Dashtou Rd behind you - 3 floors of fabric stalls, and the 4th floor is all tailors. Look for great linen, starting around 25RMB a metre, and light cottons starting at 10RMB a metre.Written October 4, 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PushExploreSingapore, Singapore4,821 contributionsThe Guangzhou books wholesale market is another one of the massive places which have a ton of shops selling books etc. Ideally, catering to the wholesale buyers, though there are several retail stores as well. This was more of a box to check, since we were in the neighbourhood.Written April 18, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
