Shanghai Asia-Sheng Department of Leisure Mall — Local services in Shanghai

This is an underground shopping mall at the Science and Technology Museum Metro stop on Line 2. Also known as Ke Ji Guan (which means roughly (science museum) in Mandarin. The place is a giant maze of tiny stores, each owned and operated by an individual merchant. You can easily and (probably will) get lost. You can find just about anything you want here if you look hard enough. Beware of the hustlers that wait at the exit of the Metro station, they will try to steer you to merchants who will overcharge you. Careful of name brand items, especially watches; they are almost invariably fake (Jiade). Prices here are rarely marked. Get ready to bargain over every dime. The bargaining is a quintessential part of the Chinese experience for Westerners. Don't be intimidated, and don't miss it! Worth going just for the experience, even if you don't actually need anything. Just pick out a scarf or a belt and let the games begin. The merchants will typically ask for at least triple what the going rate is for an item, and they fully expect you to come back with an equally outrageous offer at the low end. That's when the fun starts. There will be much hand waving and gnashing of teeth, and don't be surprised if there are tears before it's over (that's when you know a deal is imminent). Don't be afraid to simply walk away. If the merchant does not follow you at that point, you have probably gotten them down as low as they will go! In the end, you should probably expect to pay about half what you would pay for a similar item in the U.S. If you pay a little more than a Chinese person would pay for the same item, that's ok. If you are an expat living in Shanghai you can...

Although some vendors can become aggressive always stand your ground when haggling prices! Don't be afraid to say no thanks and walk away. They all have and sell they stuff so ask them you be surprised. I recommend for the sake of language barrier show them pictures of what you are after. I got a few things as a first timer but I can't to go back. It's an existing experience when they are in a good mood. They have so many shops they aren't labelled alphabetically so its confused and frustrating if your in a hurry. There's restaurants a train station taxis outside. Not sure if its wheelchair friendly maybe some...

A.P. Plaza. After you exit metro line 2, shanghai museum and tech, you will find it at first. I think, you should came here to feel the experience. Lots of review for this place. All the good review is right. Give your lowest price for everything they give. Dont worry, the will look angry or upset. Dont worry keep your price and put a little higher. If you are lucky, you will get the price and the goods. If they wont give you, and you walk away, they will call you again to bargain more. Just feel...
