Things to Buy in Stanley Market
Your shopping is probably mostly
concentrated around the market, which I think has more 'market
atmosphere' though there are shops around the
Murray House too.
There are all kinds of shops though they are
extremely touristy and are mostly souvenir.
Souvenir ideas
'Antique shops':
- Small Chinese bamboo bird cages as
home decoration
- small wooden frame with Chinese
character or Chinese ornament inside
- Your English name in
Chinese
calligraphy (see picture on the left border) - I am
embarrassed to find most of the 'calligraphy' are of poor
standard. Find a local but not the shopkeeper to help
you to distinguish the good and poor.
Linen shops:
- linen Chinese embroidered table
cloth, handkerchiefs, small cloth bag
- silky embroidered wine bottle bag,
mobile phone cover or handbag
Watch and electronics shops:
- loads of cheap watches, perfect for
young kids. We are talking about US$3 per watch!
- fancy torches
- data bank with calendar, calculator
and other functions
Clothes shops:
- very fancy, sparkly beads dress for
ballroom dance
- silk garment
- XXL garment
- cheap t-shirt
