Di Xia Shang Chang 地下商场
Most of the former bomb shelters that twisted underneath the city have been converted and expanded into huge networks of underground shopping malls. These are the places to go if you want to flex your bargaining muscles. The shopkeepers will often easily drop to 50% of the initial price, and most locals can get the item for half that. Do take the time to carefully inspect items before buying them though, because quite a bit of the merchandise is poorly made and falls apart after a few uses. The atmosphere and conditions vary from one to the next. The nicest one and most expensive is located under Jiefangbei. The largest, but also possibly the dirtiest and least welcoming, is located under Yangjiaping. For the best quality at the lowest prices, many of the locals recommend the one located under the Chongbai shopping plaza near Guanyinqiao (观音桥) in Jiangbei.
