When a holiday approaches, it can feel like you're the only soul in your network who hasn't made plans to get away for a few days. Yet if you're staying in town for the May Day break, you've got nothing to worry about because there are plenty of great events on, including these food, vintage, antiques and craft markets...


May 1-2: Flower Planting Market

If your apartment needs a bit of pepping up with fresh flowers and plants, swing by the Flower and Plant Market in Shine Hills. The market will bring together 30 vendors representing the most popular flower and gardening brands and shops in the city, to provide flowers and plants, vintage floral containers, organic food, daily utensils, and fashionable jewelry. Check here to learn more about participating vendors.


Free. 10am-8pm. Shine Hills



May 1-4: White Bazaar

The four-day market brings together vendors who focus on a wide variety of traditional Chinese crafts, ranging from tie-dye products, silver ornamentations, 文房四宝 (wén fáng sì bǎo, a.k.a. calligraphy), embroidery, paper-cutting, and weaving knots. Best of all, each of the participating crafters welcomes you to come and try your hand at the crafts yourself.

May 3: Camera Stylo Vintage Market

At the Camera Stylo vintage market on Friday, there will be over 20 vendors selling vintage clothing, jewelry, antiques, film cameras, and ethnic handicrafts. To make it more exciting, every three hours, they will select a best vintage-dressed guest and present a best-dressed award along with an RMB 200 cash prize at the vintage clothing shop, plus a drink on the house. At 8pm, there will also be a film screening on the rooftop terrace.
