About
快速信息: 走进弯曲的拱廊，你会被香料、古铜和皮革混合而成的浓烈气味包围，每个转角都有新的色彩与声音等着你去发现。超过4000家店铺和数公里的通道让人目不暇接，讨价还价在这里像是一种社交仪式而非仅仅是购物技巧。
亮点: 有超过4,000家商铺和61条狭长的巷道，光是彩色玻璃灯和挂满铜器的橱窗就能让眼睛眩晕，空气里混着肉桂、烤栗子和磨铜的金属气味。老店主们还有个古怪的习俗，讨价还价成功时会请你喝一小杯浓到像糖浆的红茶，许多店铺门上还能看到刻着家族名字的木牌，说明同一家已经经营好几代了。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a small secure bag, alleys are cobbled and you will walk a lot.
- Visit right after opening to avoid crowds and see shopkeepers arranging displays, mid-afternoon is the busiest time.
- Ask permission before photographing people; for strong architectural photos aim for the main domed halls and ornate gates.
- Haggle politely, compare identical items at multiple stalls, and avoid buying high-value antiques from the first seller you meet.
