Dong Tai Road Antique Market, Shanghai

I visited the Dong Tai Road market recently, I'd say 80% of what is there is either fake or has been altered somewhat. There were some very nice wood carvings and statue fragments that were convincingly old. With the exception of a couple of potential bargains from 1 dealer I found the other vendors unwilling to deal. It was however an interesting place and I plan to go back. Be prepared, it's dirty, but a genuine experience.

We went antique shopping when we were in Shanghai this June. We found a beautiful pair of carved wood panels, paid in cash and are still waiting for them to arrive after over 5 weeks. Business card we got has incorrect contact numbers and e-mail info. We should of carried the goods back with us or used a Visa card. The business was called Wu Hai Bin located at 46 Dong Tai Road.
