With all those factories nearby, don't be surprised if you stumble upon a few markets of the dark-colored variety. Manufactured goods and textiles¡ª"real" and fake¡ªmake up most of the shopping in Guangzhou, and more and more of it is happening in Western-style malls. Most of what you'll see there won't be any different than what you see on the shelves at whatever shipping destination you've just come from, so if you're looking for something more unique pay a visit to Qingping Market. Antiques are big in Guangzhou, too, and the White Swan Arcade on Shamian Island is a good place to start looking for upscale items as well as arts and crafts, books and jewelry.
