Head back to Fuxing Road after leaving Platane. Turn left again onto Fuxing Road staying, again, on the left-hand side. You'll eventually find Urban Tribe in a few minutes on the same side of the street. The owner designs the clothing with a friend and everything is made from hand-dyed 100% cotton. They're a little on the new age-y side, yet sophisticated when paired with some of the beautiful unique silver jewelry.

What you'll find: breezy, baggy tops and long skirts of sumptuous cotton, gorgeous large format matted photos in black & white, as well as color, of Tibet, Burma, Vietnam and Cambodia, taken by the owner's husband. A line of unique silver jewelry including darling mobile-phone accessories, as well as a distinctive line of pottery.

Tips: relax in their garden at the back of the shop with a latte or a cup of Chinese tea.

Address: Fuxing Xi (West) Road, #133

Business hours: open every day, 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
