What to do and see in Puxi (Downtown Shanghai), Shanghai Region: The Best Shopping
The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

We visited the fabric market on the first day of our family visit in order to have things custom made in time to pick them up 5 days later. Had a BEAUTIFUL yellow trench coat made at BOOTH #285, Gorgeous blue suit for my son made at Suits by Susan #233 (they spoke English very well and were super helpful on the choices to be made), Also had a shirt made from Cloud at booth # 172 (I brought in one of my favorite shirts and they had an exact copy in one of their fabrics) and my daughter had a dress made at #172 as well. DEFINITELY negotiate with the price!

3. Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Centre

Reviewed By Athamese - San Francisco, United States
As others have written, this place has recently moved. Google Maps had it listed under its old location (in the basement of some apartment complex) but that's not right anymore. The address listed here is correct. No photos allowed in the museum, sadly, but it's well worth a visit. The posters all have translations of the captions into English (some in French, too) and many of them also have a few paragraphs of interpretation and context. My experience is that Chinese people use the word "propaganda" unironically and without any hint of negativity that English-speakers usually do. Looking at these posters, some of which I'd seen in books before, I was amazed at how quotidian some of them are, and how powerful and striking others were as well. I certainly appreciated the view into a part of Chinese history that gets represented through a particular lens in US education. I also appreciated looking at what is openly labeled propaganda, and how that made me think about what we see in the US that is not so openly labeled propaganda (but is obviously and clearly analogous). Take the time to visit this museum. It's got a great little gift shop where I bought far too many postcards, and they have a nice collection of books and even original copies of Mao's little red book in multiple languages. They also have posters of varying sizes for sale.

We visited the Hushi Mosque for Friday prayers and after coming out there is a long row of street food vendors on both sides of the road, selling a variety of Muslim Chinese foods. Great for carnivores as they love their lamb :) If intending to go, suggest you have a light breakfast that morning as there is so much to enjoy from dumplings, baozi, noodles and various bbq items.

I had a fantastic experience yesterday at Lucy's Glasses shop at the Everbrite International Glasses Mall. I read about Lucy's shop on Tripadvisor and the reviews did not disappoint! Lucy has an amazing range of options, from brand names to simple frames to suit any style and budget. Her team really took the time to look at my references and helped me pick two great options that suited the kind of lens I needed and my face. The eye test was great, and there are different lens qualities and thicknesses to select from - which makes it easy for you to work your new glasses purchase into your budget. English is no problem, service was quick, professional and I am so happy with the quality of my glasses. Cant recommend Lucy and her shop enough! Lucy's store is located on the first Floor - Store 1003.
