revolutionary figurines

by jennyvmck Online Now Oct 22, 2011 at 5:45 PM

I'll be travelling to Shanghai next year for 5 days and staying in the French Concession area. I would like to buy some of the revolutionary figurines of Mao/ landlords being punished/ party cadres etc. Any suggestions about the best place to buy them and how much they cost? Any recommendations about restaurants in the French concession would also be appreciated.

    The Souvinier stalls around Yuyuan gardens sell all sorts of stuff. I am sure you can find what you want there.
