Who'll buy my cabbages?

A farmer looks at piles of unsold cabbages at Shanghai's Jiangqiao Wholesale Market yesterday. There was a bumper harvest of cabbages in the city and neighboring regions this autumn thanks to the good weather.

上海田子坊弄堂街道 上海是一個有趣的城市. 經過了好幾年之後, 重新回到上海待了兩天. 感覺上, 這個城市又蛻變了很多, 從遠本的五條地鐵, 現再增加到十一條, 還有兩條仍在建. 聽說上海的地鐵總里程, 已經要居全世界數一數二的位置. 想當然, 這都是拜世博會之賜. 有了空閒, 去了一趟田子坊. 喜歡的不是在那裏所賣的所謂的藝術家設計產品. 我喜歡的是弄堂裏, 隨處可見的露天咖啡座. 非常的悠閒, 如果你曾到過上海新天地那樣的石庫門建築而喜歡那樣的感覺, 那麼我強力推薦這個地方是一定要去的....個人評鑑, 遠勝於新天地!!! www.tianzifang.cn/

Chalk it down to the fickle nature of China’s fashion-obsessed elite or the natural result of the sustained flood of luxury goods into the country, but to aspirational middle-class buyers, luxury second-hand shops can be something of a godsend. However, as always, buyer beware: a keen eye is critical to keep from dropping your hard-earned cash on a counterfeit. So, for Shanghai shoppers looking for bargains and fed up with fakes, here are some of the city’s best luxury second-hand shops: Milan Station ( 米澜坊 ) Not to be confused with the similarly named Hong Kong chain Milan Station ( milan zhan , 米澜站), Shanghai’s Milan Station ( milan f...
