Shopping Shanghai
Asia’s Bargain Shopping Capital
Getting High in Shanghai Series 13
Seasoned travelers and shoppers refer to Shanghai
as the "Paris of the East." as just like the City of Lights
it is one of many shoppers' ultimate dream destination.
When we found out upon check in that Oakwood Residences
where we would be staying has a direct access to the Imago Mall
we knew we are in for an irresistible shopping temptation in Shanghai.
While there were a number of European brands
in Imago Mall, but most of them were expensive
and beyond the means of impoverished Filipino
tourists traveling on a tight budget like my family.
Pull & Bear was our favorite shop at the Imago Mall.
It is a Spanish clothing and accessories
retailer and has a wide array of stylish shoes,
…focuses on very urban style casual, laid-back
clothing and accessories at affordable prices.
Uniqlo is a Japanese casual wear store
that offers quality yet affordable clothing.
We love Uniqlo embraces as they sell comfortable
casual clothes, that attract people of all ages
because of classic clothing but updated to trend.
It’s an Asian and more hip and modern version
of another favorite brand- Marks and Spencer
My family was amused of a shop called “Kilikili”.
We didn’t know what it meant in Chinese but it is the Filipino word for armpit.
We did not shop there, my son and I could not resist the urge of posing on
the storefront and had our pictures taken showing what else? Our ‘kilikilis’
Kerry Lifestyle Center in Pudong had an upscale mall. that had an
excellent line up popular European and American apparel brands.
We just however dined in the mall,

We just however dined in the mall,
…did a little window shopping, and breezed out as
we found the place expensive and too sophisticated.
Hard-up tourists like us are definitely not its target market.
The eclectic Nanjing Road, almost six miles of shopping
strip from end to end.beginning from Nanjing West Road,
…to the pedestrianized Nanjing East Road,
…that eventually hits the famous Bund.
In between is a cacophony of small shops selling
almost everything from jewelry, accessories and food.
We stopped at Shanghai No. 1 Department Store,
…the first and oldest state-run store
to shop for sports shoes for the kids.
The street was lined with pocket parks and plazas,
…trendy boutiques,
…and even glitzy malls.
The Nanjing Road is also the place
to go for tourist souvenir shopping,
…and trying novelty food items.
Shanghai is considered as China's style capital,
…a fast growing b metropolis that has become
one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world.
