Post subject: 580 Nanjing Lu market?

Hey, I know there have been loads of posts about the fake market relocating to 580 Nanjing Lu but I went there on Saturday and couldn't find it. Am I being a real dumbass? I went up to about the 5th floor and it was just a clothes shop. I even went to the buildings next door in case the numbering was wrong.
It is 580 on the pedestrian area of Nanging Xi Lu isn't it?
Can anyone help me with where I'm going wrong.
Thanks

I was just there yesterday, there are 3 floors of vendors. No, 580 is not the pedestrian m all area, it is right on Nanjing(near a place called wish-doing)

It's not Nanjing Dong Lu but Nanjing Xi Lu. To be precise: at the crossing Chongqing Lu (that's the N-S Elevated Road). It is an office building with the "fake market" in the lower floors.
I went there 3 weeks ago but did not find it very appealing: many aggressive vendors, empty stores and poor quality products.

There is a huge name outside the building that says Fenshine Taobao city or something like that. If you were to take a cab ... just tell the cabbie that you are going to Nanjing Xi Lu just before Chengdu Bei Lu. Tell him it's 580, the nicer cabbies will slow down and browse through the numbers for you.

It is linked to a tall office building call Nan Zheng Building. It is standing right at the cross road with the Yan An highway. Facing Nan Zheng on Nanjing West Road is the 588 Building.

Good luck!
