“Recorded September 7, 2009. It was a beautiful, hot summer/autumn day in Pudong and I was heading home from another sound walk. The Xinyang Market is located in the Science and Technology museum subway stop on Line 2. It is an underground market and can be accessed from the subway station. Sometimes called the ‘fake’ market most of the stuff here are either fake or souvenirs. Fake or not, it is a cheap place to get anything you want: cd, dvd, software, sporting equipment, camera stuff, clothing, accessories, etc…
I had come here before and vividly remember the merchants agressively selling their wares. There was not many people there that day but I still got some offers. I also happened upon some foreigners in a shop and another one that just bought a huge bag of fake football jerseys. You can hear this towards the end when the offers start becoming more frequent. You can notice same background music being heard on and off from the stalls that have radios. It’s easy to get lost in the experience but don’t forget to go topside to see the amazing Science and Technology Museum.”
