This is a shopping area that is the size of a small town where each store has one type of item that it sells to other sellers – sort of like warehouse shopping. One store will be full of just umbrellas, another one just watches, another just tea containers. You can find clothes, coffee, fireworks, pocketbooks, toys, fancy hairpins, bedding and on and on. The prices are a lot better than you can get anywhere else (except maybe the internet) it just takes a lot of time to find what you want. Amy, who is leaving after this term to attend graduate school in Florida, needed a few more unique Chinese items to take home as gifts. We decided that both of us needed to be walking to loosen up our sore legs so we did about 4 hours of shuffling and shopping.
