Today the EAS organized a bus trip to the Wuxi Flea Market. Wuxi is a town about an hour drive northwest of Suzhou and there were about 40 women that went on this trip. The Wuxi Flea Market is a sight to see! I'm told there is a small flea market in Suzhou but Wuxi's doesn't even compare to Suzhou's. So we went to Wuxi!
Scooter(e-bike) parking between the buildings:
The market is about 9 different buildings that are all 3 floors each!!! Luckily the activities organizers had been here a few different times so they put together a handy dandy cheat sheet on what each building and level contained for us so we were not left to wander on our own. I do have to say this place was very overwhelming for the first time! I even came home empty handed which is shocking I know!
If you can think of an item you need you can probably find it here: Shoes, underwear, household cleaners, crafts, decorations, vases, antiques, tea, candy, plants, signs, clothing, purses, bedding, construction equipment, helmets, electronics. You name it you can find it!!! There are even local food stalls/vendors on the outside main level which is fun to see. Here are some pictures of the market items and surrounding area:
Mom and Auntie Lori, I will take you here only after I learn how to barter with the Chinese because that is allowed here. Oh, and you two will have a time limit!!!
