Name of Shop: Silk Market

This is a populare shopping alley packed full with stalls selling imitation goods. Although very similar in concept to stalls you would find in Bangkok, KL or anywhere else in Asia, the product quality is much higher and winter clothes are a bargain.

What To Buy: Silk ties, purses, branded clothes, silk scarves, luggage.

What To Pay: USD 2.50 a "Hermes" tie, USD 3 for a silk scarf.
You can bargain. Always offer around 30% of the initial asking price and work upwards until no more than 50% of initial offer price.
