I was astounded to find that one of Shanghai's major wholesale produce markets is located adjacent to the high-rent "financial" district in the heart of old Shanghai on Zhongshan Nanlu (zhongshan4.GIF (193 bytes)), referred to in English as The Bund.  The market has two entrances, each with a different name. Entering this market from Xiao Dong Men (xiaodong4.GIF (149 bytes)), which is a ½ block from  The Bund, the market is called "16 Shops" Non-Staple Food Products Market.  There you'll first find the all-day wholesale fish and meat market in open-air arcade.  It flows into a semi-enclosed wholesale vegetable market, which is also accessible from its main entrance along The Bund and is called Shanghai City Non-Staple Food Products Market.  Though the vegetable market is open from 3:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. daily, the bustle of activity is over by about 8 a.m.
