Shopping Overview

Shopping in Nanchang is limited, although the locals are keen to flog anything that will make a quick kuai. Various styles of clothing, trinkets and handicrafts can be found on the major shopping streets, such as Women’s Street (Nuren jie) and the Palace of Longevity Street (Wanshougong jie).

The cities main specialty is porcelain, that comes from the nearby area of Jingdezhen, but which is in quantity in the city. The Nanchang Porcelain Store (Nanchang ciqi shangdian) on Mingde lu is a good place to start looking, but there are now many private stores selling classical style pieces for cheap.

Other local specialty products include the Lidu Brushes, Silk Fans and Painted Plates, all of which can be found in the Nanchang Arts and Crafts Shop (Nanchang gongyi meishu shangdian), on Minde lu, west of the intersection with Supu lu.
