I have never been so overwhelmed by clothes before. Oxford street, Bangkok Suann Lumm, TK Maxx and Belz all put together have nothing on Qipu Lu.

Some could be in a high street mall Diesel, Miss Sixty, Gaultier all could be mistaken for high-end retail. Others look more like a dumper trucked tipped 8000 tshirts onto the floor... which is probably what happened.
Of course, everything is fake, you can't touch anything without being heckled, nothing will fit and there's nowhere to try it on anyway. Which of course is half the fun.
Come here for the experience, then relish spending a little more somewhere else where the choices are fewer, crowds thinner and you don't need to deal with the "upset baby" act when you offer 50% of the asking price and they're still making a good markup.

Here at least a half-dozen huge buildings, each with 4 football pitch sized floors are crammed with 'boutiques' selling to the weekend shopper what they are normally churning out in bulk to the department stores.
