I have been here couple of times. And not once did I go upstairs. I went upstairs, and I fianlly figured out why it is called the "Pearl Market". Duh!! I went to see if I can pick some stuff like I usually do (Date: April 22nd, 2012). I bargained like usual, and nothing came up cheap. China has become... More

Certainly visit the top floor for the tailors. Good quality, very low prices. Everything you want to find, you find in this shopping mall, and at a very cheap price. I certainly come again the next time I'm in Shanghai.

This is a three floor warehouse with clothing primarily on the ground floor, pearls on the second and some assorted stuff on the third floor. It is well documented the variety of Pearls...I usually go the Lily's on the second floor because it is a store and not a kiosk. Last visit i got three double stranded pearl bracelets for... More

Good place to find wide range of pearls but also scarves, bags etc. Reasonable prices and not too pushy!

Locate at the main street with pretty sales representative and good speaking in english. We can bring along our camera to snap the real oaster with pearl in.\ If we are pearl collector we can spend our time here to bagging if not just short period for our eyes to view.

My wife would offer the comment that this Pearl Market offers the best value for real pearls anywhere in the world. You could fill a case with merchadise and become a retail millionare in next to no time if selling your goods in the UK. Pity about import duty!!

Exquisite on the 4th floor! Doris had good English and was willing to negotiate...plus she threw in some freebies after we made a deal. I... More

Let me start by saying that I do not like shopping. This place was so much fun! Lots of different things from clothes, luggage, jewelry, and of course pearls. I went alone and spent hours looking and buying things. General rule is to start at about 25-30% of what they ask. If you stay to your guns you can get... More
