The first proper charity shop we’ve been able to pin down in the city, this store donates all proceeds to the Shanghai Charity Foundation, which helps people in need in remote communities. It’s rather bare as shops go, with the items a bit too spread out on the shelves, yet there are actually some interesting items to be found, and at rock-bottom prices. Don’t be put off by the fact there are far too many staff, watching your every move; have a mooch through an interesting range of goods – stuffed toys, books and magazines all from just 3RMB each, along with a slightly random range of home items – lightbulbs (7RMB), toothpaste (4RMB), lighters (2RMB) and a cutlery set from 2RMB. There are also brand new full wok and pan sets from 150RMB, and a few items of clothing dotted around from 20RMB and upwards.
