Peddlars selling food items and trinklets can be found easily on some of the major bridges in Shanghai, especially the bridges near large shopping malls, tapping into the large flow of human traffic. Many of these illegal peddlars are from other poorer provinces, so sometimes you may find some interesting ethnic gems among the pile of crap they sell. Open your eyes, be ready to bargain and get out of their way when the Police comes catching.
