Nithing says romance like a stroll along the West Lake, protected from the noon sun by an elegant and beautiful Hangzhou silk umbrella. As red as the dawn, green as spring water, or blue as the clear sky, these silk umbrellas can be made in a rainbow of colors and designs. Some umbrellas are hand painted with landscapes or other beautiful, fanciful designs and can be very valuable.

For souvenirs and knick-knacks, head to the Old Town, and take in Huaihai Rd in the French Concession for your smart shopping needs. Supersize malls favour Pudong, but the best malls and department stores can be found in Xujiahui, Huahai Rd and Nanjing Rd. For shoes, shop at Shaanxi Rd, for books browse along Fuzhou Rd and for musical instruments, try Fenyang Rd and East Jingling Rd. Most shops are open daily from 10am to 9pm, though government-run stores often close at 6pm. Shopping malls and department stores are generally open till 10pm, especially on the weekends.
