China / Shanghai / Yuyuan traditional Bazaar
Yu Yuan Bazaar is the city's largest Flea Market. Its narrow lanes are dotted with over 100 shops, as well as teahouses, wine houses, snack bars, restaurants, a lotus pond, a zigzag bridge, and the famous Yu Yuan Garden and China's Oldest Teahouse. The bazaar and surrounding areas are a great place to wander around, shop, take photos and people-watch! The Bazaar is a fun place to shop for trinkets and souvenirs — bet you don't go home empty-handed!...
Yuyuan is possibly the only place in Shanghai's city centre to find a tiny mark of ancient China. Built by the Pun family in 1559, the garden had the name of "Yu", which meant abundance back then. After hundreds of years of mismanagement and several big destruction, Yuyuan has taken a different look. Today, much of the original garden, right up to Cheng Huang Miao in the south, is formed as part of the Yuyuan Bazaar shopping district.
Wonderfully atmospheric, the Grand Bazaar is a labyrinth of avenues and shops that are a photographer's dream. Spotlessly clean and full of life. A wonderful place.
I picked my five favorite craft supplies for kids, as well as a DIY take on each one. And CRAFT: let me add my recs for favorite kids' craft books too - a super fun piece to write!

Notre premier bazaar, placé sur la route de la Soie il y a plus de 2000 ans... Le plus connu d'Iran et classé patrimoine mondial par l'Unesco.
The Grand Bazaar, Fetih, Istabul, Turkey, 28 October 2009. It was built by the Ottomans in 1455-81 soon after they took Constantinople and is one of the oldest and largest covered shopping centres (or 'malls' in American parlance!) in the world. It was rebuilt/repaired many times after numerous earthquakes and fires over the following centuries and was last renovated in 1980. Not sure what this is I have photographed but it may be the remains of a Byzantine structure incorporated into the Ottoman building.
I especially like the stepped building to the left.
