Tourists Ray and Wanda Correira spent all day today looking for the Xiangyang Fake Market. The couple were unaware that the market closed in 2006, since they were relying on their old copy of Frommer's China to get them around the city. "I'm sure it should be here, near the Shimen Yi Lu metro station" said Ray, after several hours walking around in circles. "Actually we can't seem to find that either."
"We're finding it a bit difficult to get our bearings" said Ray. "For example the Pu Dong marshland on the east side of the river seem to have some skyscrapers and stuff there now. Whatever will they think of next!"
For dinner the Correiras are heading to the Naked Cow before an evening out at Mint. We wish them luck.

The Anhui Province Tourism Development Board has announced a plan to use the 20,000 ayis from the province working in Shanghai in an innovative guerilla marketing campaign. "We discovered many of our foreign friends in Shanghai didn't know anything about Anhui except that their ayis came from the province" commented Tang Xiaoxia, the provincial tourism head.Ayis will be encouraged to promote the province's scenic spots, including Jiuhua Mountain and the Ming Emperor Tombs. Many foreign residents returned to their homes on Tuesday to discover impressive replicas of various Anhui sights. "My ayi had constructed a full-size replica of the Xuguo Arch Gate in Yixian using my socks", commented Max Wycliffe, a British translator living in Jing'an District. Dedicated Xiao Hong, an Ayi from Anhui who works in the Hongkou Area, used the discarded pizza boxes in the house of Shane Hayes, an Australian expatriate, to reconstruct the Ruins of Zhongdu near Fengyang.
