During our tour of the city yesterday we visited the Yuyuan Bazaar in the old town.  The town is built in the style of traditional Chinese architecture, although feels a little Disney land like since it is so clean.   It is a great place to walk around, immerse yourself in the crowds and take in the variety of smells (not all good).  Here are a couple of photos of the busy market streets…

This is definitely the place to come for souvenir shopping.  There are all kinds of unique shops selling food, decorations, art and many more Chinese style gits/souvenirs.  Don’t forget to barter for a good price!

We also had a great traditional lunch here, but I will blog about that in a separate post   Here is a little video clip of the main square…
