hi im new here in kunming.. as i was walking down the streets i had come accross few shops.. i saw this not that good looking dress for like 200yuen.. then later on i found out that everything sold in this place is so expensive. so i heard from some kunming people that there is this big market in town that sells cheap clothes but a good find.. i was wondering on where that place is..
and please do email me at thelostprincess08@yahoo.com
There is one shop called "shen Lin" on Qian Ju Jie (if you go down from Wen lin Jie, it's one your lift side; and there is one bra shop beside it).
There you can find some cheap cloth, in case you are Laowai, you also can find big size there. And all the garment there with brands.
I am quite offen in Shanghai, just bought some tops, like 30 RMB, cheap and nice. If you want to have a look, please contact me. ccyan0204@hotmail.com
Dear Princess Sheena,
Perhaps the market you've heard of is Luosiwan. This is a BIG open air market not too far from the south train station. Part of the complex is a big clothing department store called Yun Fang. Tell the taxi driver "Dao Yun Fang!" and he should get you there, no problem. Otherwise, you can bicycle from the Yunnan University area on the first ring road. Go south, turn left, onto the south branch of the 1st ring road, and you'll see Yun Fang on your right, pretty quick.
If you cycle further on the south branch of the ring road, beyond Yun Fang, then turn right on Nan Ba road, you'll come to the Luosiwan cloth market. Most of this is wholesale, but there is a retail section which will sell you a variety of fabrics. Get what you like and take it to a tailor. (Someone else will have to advise you on tailors.)
Another easy way to find Nan Ba road: go south on Qing Nian ("youth") road, and it'll turn into Nan Ba, near the cloth market.
