Where to Buy
1) Fu Zi Miao: The busy street
The busy street of Nanjing Fu Zi Miao is a must visit for most tourist. There are many shops selling all kinds of things here.
Address: Nanjing Fu Zi Miao
2) Shopping at Confucius Temple Night Market
The night market is a right place to shop for inexpensive or small souvenirs for your friends & relatives. You may get a chance to test your bargaining power here for handicrafts, souvenirs & knick-knacks
Address: No.17 of Hanzhong road
3) Chaotian Gong Market: Great Antique/Flea Market
This is somewhere between an antique and a flea market - rows of tables with everything jumbled together, quite expensive items mixed with very cheap ones. If you like looking for prizes and seeing things that don't look as if they've been manufactured yesterday, this is the market for you. Mind you, you will have to clean everything off when you get back - the layers of dirt are incredible.
Antique posters and books, statues and vases, charms and jewelry, playing cards and combs, and a ton of jade - of course, over half of it is probably fake.
Address: Inside the Chaotian Gong Temple

This is a large department store in the main street and had a number of levels (more than 4 from what I can remember) that sells everything from upmarket clothes to electric goods etc.
Unfortunately, it did not have a food hall in it (at least one that we could find). There was a food hall in the large Grand Ocean opposite.
Address: No.122 of South Zhongshan road, Baixia district
5) Ivy Food Store: Foreign food
I stumbled across this shop on my way from the Xuanwu Lake to the Shiziqiao Food Street. It sells a variety of foreign foods, sweets and liquor but prices are accordingly higher than prices for foreign goods at larger supermarkets or grocery stores.
Address: No. 6-4 Hunan Lu, Gulou District, Nanjing
