articles, fashionable clothes and foods, etc. The night
markets are not only quite convenlent but also add color to
Guangzhou night life.
Antique Market
Guangzhou has its antique market in the alleys off Daihe Lu.
It's very informal and consists mostly of people peddling
wares from their windows or the back of a truck. It can he
very interesting, but be aware that few of these `antiques'
are very old and many may be fake Still, it's good fun to
explore.The Friendship Stores have antique sections, but
don't expect to find a bargain.Only antiques that have been
cleared for sale to foreigners may be taken out of the
country. When you buy an item that is more than 100 years
old it will come with an of ficial red wax seal attached.
This seal does not necessarily indicate that the item is an
antique. You'll also get a receipt of sale which you must
show to customs when you leave the country, otherwise, the
antiqto will be confiscated. Imitation antiques are sold
everywhere. Some museum shops sell replicas of pieces on
exhibit.On the left of the Cultural Park and tucked away
down a small street is a fascFnating antiques market of
ceramics,jade and other collectibles, The Owners of the
stalls all trip over each other to show you the cream of the
crop. Haggle hard. On the west of Shamian lsland, on Shamian
Sijie, is a string of souvenir shops selling paintings,
clothes and calligraphy. The road leading up to the Temple
of the Six Banyan Trees is also chock-a-block with souvenir
shops bursting with ceramics and jade. The Guangzhou Antique
Shop at 172 Wende Bei Lu has a reasonable range of (not
cheap) souvenir items.
Arts & Crafts
Brushes, paints and other art materials may be worth
checking: a lot of this stuff is heing imported by western
countries, so you should be able to pick it up cheaper at
the source. Scroll paintings are sold every where and are
invariably expensive, partly because the material on which
the paintings are done is expensive. There are many street
artists in China who sit on the sidewalk making drawings and
paintings on the spot and selling them to passers-by.Beantiful
kites are sold in China and are worth getting just to hang
on your wall.Paper rubbings of stone inscriptions are cheap
and make nice wall hangings when framed. Papercuts are sold
everywhere and some are exquisite. Jade and ivory jewellery
is commonly Sold in China, but watch out for fakes. Remember
that every ivory item bought brings the African elephant
closer to extinction,and that countries such as Australia
and the USA prohibit the importation of ivory. We Strongly
urge you not to buy ivory goods.The Jiangnan Native Product
Store at 399 Zhongshan 4-Lu has a good selection of bamboo
and baskets, and the Guangzhou Arts and Crafts Market is
convenient at 284 Changdi Dama Lu, near the Aiqun Hotel.
