Has Xiangyang Market Moved to Yangshuo?

Who said that Xiangyang market was demolished? It has simply been moved to the West Street of Yangshuo.

While in Yangshuo when we wandered down the most popular street - West Street, we found so many shops selling the same stuff as those in the good old Xiangyang market - Quicksilver T-shirts, Gucci watch and those designer's handbags...

We walked into one shop that has three separate rooms displaying different brand of designer's handbags: Chanel, Coach, Gucci etc. They actually had more designs available than in the Xiangyang market but asking prices were higher too. I tried to use the same tactic as I used to use in Xiangyang market to haggle prices with them, but they didn't chase me at all after I pretended to leave - either their handbags cost really are higher, or they have more than enough customers to sell to at top dollar. While  in the shop, I saw an elderly Italian lady who bought a few handbags leave with a big happy smile on her face.

So the West Street in Yangshuo is another place to shop for designer's handbags.
