No point in buying Levis in Shanghai, it's super expensive there, almost like twice the price here for some pairs (since it's considered more of a premium brand over there)

As for other large malls and shopping/hangout areas and how to get there, check out:

- Cloud 9 Mall at Zhongshan Park (get off at Zhongshan Park metro station)
- Nanjing Xi Road shopping district for all the high end designer stuff (get off at Jing'An Temple station and walk east)
- Sichuan Bei Road commercial district for good quality Chinese and other Asian brands (get off at Hongkou Stadium metro station and walk south)
- Wujiaochang commercial area (get off at Wujiaochang metro station)
- Middle Huaihai Road/Xintiandi Area for chic upscale boutiques (get off at South Huangpi Road metro station)

If you want to buy replicas (i.e. fake stuff), it'll be hard to find good quality stuff because of the Expo going on right now and the crackdown by the police. The only place I know that still sells the good stuff (although very limited styles and quantities) is at Taobao City on Nanjing Xi Road. Don't follow peddlers on the street, they all lead you to places that sell really shitty fakes.
