Foreign tourists now have a "new attraction" to visit in Shanghai! A fabric market has recently become the city's second most popular attraction among foreign tourists on travel site TripAdvisor.

The South Bund Soft Spinning Material Market houses over 200 stores, specializing in tailor-made suits and shirts. The manufacturing of tailor-made suits takes about three days.

Thanks to relaxed visa-free policies, a growing number of international visitors are stopping by to have clothing custom-made before leaving the country. Now, over half of the clients in the market are foreign buyers.
