try 泰康路

to find second hand goods

try 老西门 (which was where i went today, and spurred me to list these places down)
i was trying to find a second hand sewing machine for cheap, to make my hoodie, but alas. i couldn't find any. but if you are looking for second hand bicycle seats or a pair of dumb bells, you can be sure to find them there.


oh yes, not forgetting the many fabulous parks here
