Making the Most of Qipu Road

Looking for a place to go shopping for clothes at cheap prices? Look no further than Qipu Road! Here are four top locations for you to browse and peruse to your heart’s content

LQM

This place reminded me of the fake market in terms of layout, but the clothes are much better quality. Everything’s also reasonably priced, so there’s no need to haggle at all. There’s a designated floor for men’s clothing on B1, and there’s a food court in the building if you’re looking for some local grub before continuing your shopping spree.

Address: 99 North Henan Road, Jing’an District

Qipu Road Clothing Wholesale Market

This place looks a little rundown, but don’t let that fool you. This location in particular is known for wholesale: they sell clothes by the bulk at incredibly low prices. Whether you’re doing DIY crafts and you need a bunch of clothes to feature original designs, or if you’re going to start a Taobao store of some sort, or if you just want 30 identical t-shirts to save you the hassle of picking your outfits each morning, this is the place to go.

Address: 303 Qipu Road, Jing’an District

W ZONE

Out of all the locations, W ZONE most resembles a typical mall. Aside from the vast range of clothing available for purchase - I bought some pretty cool pants from one of the stores here! - you can seek relief from the sweltering heat outside as you enjoy some iced drinks at Sweet 7 on the ground floor.

Address: 133 Qipu Road, Hongkou District

Shanghai Haopu Clothing City

What makes this location a bit more special is that there’s a dedicated floor for individual original brands. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll find some super unique clothes that no one else has, and it’s always cool to support small businesses. There’s also a car park on B1, so feel free to leave your vehicle there while you shop.
