Flower and Bird Market
Chinese people have always loved pet birds, and especially today, since they bring a bit of nature into the apartment complexes of modern China.  Bird lovers often take their birds out to give them fresh air, hanging their cages from tree branches along parks and tree lined boulevards, while they sit, chat, read the paper, or admire the other pet birds out for the day.

Chaotian gong
The Antique Market at Chaotian Gong in central Nanjing is a great place to poke around and maybe stumble across some odd treasures.  Although many vendors come to the market every day, it's biggest on Saturday mornings when many small collectors, dealers, and vendors come from the towns around Nanjing and even from neighboring provinces to display their goods.

Suzhou's shopping is concentrated in two areas - Guanqian Jie in the center of the city, and the area around Shiquan Lu in the south.
