The Grand Bazaar aka Erdaoqiao is a great place not only for regional specialty items, but also has many goods from nearby countries such as Russia and Mongolia. It is a popular tourist destination although somewhat of a tourist trap these days. However, the surrounding area is the heart of the Uyghur community and makes visiting worthwhile.
Imported delicacies can be found at the Youhao supermarket in the basement of the Tianshan Shopping Center 天山ç¾è´§, located across from the People's Square.
A number of stores selling outdoor gear, camping supplies æ·å¤ç¨å etc. can be found on Renmin Lu, east of Nanmen.
Hualin ååå¸åºis a huge trade complex selling almost anything you can think of. Shangmao Cheng åè´¸åis a similar huge bazaar in the south of the city.
Please beware pickpockets and watch your possessions carefully.
