Silk Market
I visited the famous Silk Market yesterday. We tried to find it before we left for Guiyang but I can tell you that the map we were given was totally wrong. The Market is actually in the opposite direction from what we thought.
Anyway, the place is filled with small vendors selling everything from clothing to electronics to jewelry to trinkets.
I found one vendor selling camera and music players including an impressive rack case filled with iPods. Well, they claimed to be iPods on the packaging but there were some configurations that were never before seen by me, and it was obvious that they didn’t have the manufacturing qualityof an iPod.
I pointed out the flaws to my Dad who challenged the salesperson. She was very open and acknowledged that almost everything in the case were just .mp4 players and not really Apple iPods.
I’ve got to believe that some people would be fooled because the packaging was nearly right and if you are not familiar with hthe real deal you could be fooled.
I didn’t ask for pricing since we were more discussing the fact that they were not real.
