Shopping at a food market is the best way to prepare for eating in Shanghai, even if you're going to be dining in restaurants exclusively. Freshness is a paramount value in Chinese cuisine, and menus are greatly influenced by what's available at the market.
Make a trip to a food market an early stop on your itinerary and you'll have a good idea of what's fresh and in season. Plus, it's fun to explore the huge variety of exotic fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry, seafood, bean curd products and more.
This particular market is at the intersection of Taiyuan Road and Jianguo Road, and the visit pictured here took place in June.
