Shenyang - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

Alas, no. - Mar 2019


Not really. I don't think I bought anything of particular interest. There is a huge antique market in town, but because this is China, it's impossible to tell what is an antique and what was made in a small factory across town just last Tuesday. That being said, there is some interesting stuff to buy, as long as you realize that you aren't buying an antique, and you don't pay too much for it. - Jul 2016


Lots of random stuff at the wuai market. Travel to other places nearby :) - Aug 2014


Dirt markets that sell antiques (are they real?, who knows). It is harder to get antiques through customs these days. Carpets, unique musical instraments, knick knacks, tea sets, and framing is very inexpensive. - Nov 2013
