Address:

Corner of Dongfeng E Road
& Hu Guo Road
Kunming, Yunnan China

Price:

(Not Specified)

Description:

Located in a traditional style building, this is a flea market for art and antiques. Is that string of Qing dynasty coins really Qing, or was it minted last week in a factory in Dongguan? It can't all be fake. Worth a visit, though you might want to stick to the shops (as opposed to the guys selling stuff off of blankets in the center court) if you plan to do serious shopping.
