This is where I like to shop when I’m in Shanghai.
It isn't crowded yet
The Huxinting Teahouse has been around for awhile. Nice place to stop and have a cup of tea. Go early. It gets crowded.

This area in Shanghai around the Huxinting Teahouse is a good place to shop. Do not pay asking price. Be willing to bargain. Start low and meet in the middle. Don’t be too cheap either.
Shopping before it gets crowded.
The following video gives you a musical tour of the sights of Shanghai’s Old District including Yu Yuan Garden and Huxinting Tea House.
