Tailor & Costume Street

By now I hope you have guessed that Tailor & Costume Street in Chengdu is a great spot for tailor-made clothing and fun costume shopping. The rumor of the ability to buy cheap, but good quality suits, formal wear, etc in China is in fact true. Even travelers who don't speak a word of Chinese should not be worried about the language barrier. You will find that the language of clothing is not a confusing one. There are many tailors along Shanxi Jie as well as a few costume shops which are fun to browse. Positive reports have come in from people who paid around 800-1200 RMB for a suit.
 
How to get there:Shanxi Jie is the first street just south of Tianfu Square (天府广场) in the center of town. Walk south along Renmin Lu  from the square and make the first right onto Shanxi Jie. The tailor and costume shops are a few hundred meters down the street.
