The Shazhou Night Market is the largest outdoor market in Dunhuang. The entire market is unofficially divided into separate specialty areas such as handicrafts, antiques, tea and local products. The road in front of the market is lined with over 100 stalls specializing in selling handicrafts and other cultural odds and ends like crystal, jade, Dunhuang silk carpets and “glow in the dark” stone cups made from local materials. However, the vendors drive hard bargains and it may be difficult to drive down prices. |
