Qing gong Shi Chang

I love to shop and I really love to shop at the fun, busy local markets. Nestled in south Xi'an is a mall called Qing Gong Shi Chang. It was an amazing outlet type mall that sold anything and everything.
I was so excited to find a vendor that sold simple craft supplies such as: googly eyes, pipe cleaner, rafia, pompoms, and jute. His prices were reasonable too.
The biggest surprise were stalls filled with Hobby Lobby goods. I was so excited until they told me their prices and would not negotiate at all with me. Their prices were double the normal, not on sale prices at Hobby Lobby. Still, it warmed my heart to find something cute and familiar.
This mall sold inexpensive but beautiful tea sets, as well as Chinese wedding supplies,  clothing, home goods, toys, bikes and Christmas decorations. I also found a guy that sold confetti cannons. I posted a video of the salesman's demonstration here.
Overall, it was a fun outing and I will probably be going back in the near future.
