Goods in San Man Lo
The main shopping areas are Avenida Almeida Ribeiro, or commonly known to the Chinese as San Man Lo - famous boutiques like Lanvin, Cartier, Mondi, Bally are located, Avenida do Infante D. Henridque, Rua do Campo and the Outer Harbor, where you find brand name fashions, duty-free cosmetics, high quality children's wear, bargain - priced electronics and much more at the New Yaohan and Landmark department stores.
 
However, the place is more famous for its salted fish, especially to the Hong Kong visitors as they claimed that the salted fish available for sale here is the best in Asia.
 
Gold Jewelry Shops
Jewelry shops found on Avenida Almeida Ribeiro and throughout the city are famous for its gold, precious metals and gems as they are imported duty-free into Macau. They are sold like a commodity in coins, small ingots and jewelry and are bought by the Chinese as an investment. The employees in jewelry shops speak good English and do not mind browsers.
 
Antique Shops
Antique shops found near St. Paul's, along Avenida Almeida Ribeiro, onTravessa do Pagoda and opposite the Kun Iam Temple offer wonderful antique and their reproductions that make excellent buys. Some of the items were smuggled out of China and most of them dates back to theChing Dynasty. The items available for sale include snuffboxes, ancient coins, simple Ming bowls, porcelain and furniture.
 
Alcohol and Tobacco Shops
Alcohol and tobacco are good buys, especially in comparison with Hong Kong prices. There are numerous tobacco shops around town selling all kinds of imported cigarettes and cigars. The selection of wine (mainly Portuguese) and liquor is also good. Again, the stretch of shops on Avenida Almeida Ribeiro is a good place to start looking.
