Pearl Market

The Pearl Market

Definitely the biggest draw to Hongqiao Market is the pearls. It’s the largest pearl distributor in China and is the largest section of the market. There are many varieties of pearls, with different colours, sizes and quality and prices range from a few yuan to thousands. The higher the floor, the higher the price and better the quality.

You will find freshwater pearl, seawater pearl, coral, emeralds, gems and other precious stones. It is easy to become amazed by the array of exquisite jewels for your oar and it’s possible to spend hours searching for the perfect gift here.

The Pearl Market is world famous and the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was a regular visitor here.
