anyone know if the PLA has surplus outlets in shanghai? if not, are there any military gear retailers or markets?

thanks

I saw a store along Fangbang Zhong Lu, the same road as the Fuyou Antique Market, towards the south entrance to Yuyuan Gardens pavilion, which sold cammies and the air force helmets with the red star on it; plus the usual Mao caps. Not sure what else is available. This was sometime last year so the store might still be there or not.

LOL, a bit over 10 years ago I used to buy surplus Nanchang CJ6A fighter trainer airplanes from the Chinese airforce. They were propellor planes, based on the Russian Yak18 from WW2. The buyer was a friend of mine in Odessa, Texas. A collector of airplanes, who would refurbish them, keep a few for himself, and sell the rest. I actually once flew one, when I visited him with my family in 2003. Good memories

There's a shop in amongst the electronics markets on Baoshan Lu. Get off at baoshan metro station, down the stairs, cross the road towards KFC, walk south on Henan Lu past the small park and turn left into the first lane, you'll find them on the left.
Warning - avoid any memory-related electronics (USB sticks, SD cards, MP3 players) in those markets!
