Description

MARKET STREET & UNION SQUARE Union Square is a small city square. There are some office buildings and brand stores around the square, mainly including Tiffany & Co, Victoria’s Secret, Vera Wang, etc., the famous American department store chain Macys, the world’s largest casual fashion giant GAP, the famous American fashion casual wear brands BANANA PEPUBLIC and Guess, the famous denim clothing flagship store Levis Store, and the famous sports brand Nike flagship store Nike Town, Walgreens, the largest drugstore chain in the United States... Surrounded by some pedestrian shopping streets, the cable car station to Fisherman's Wharf is also nearby, which is quite lively and prosperous. The Macy's Department Store in Union Square may not be as large as the large shopping malls in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in China, but in terms of price, Macy's Department Store is still cheaper. Some brands are not available in outlets and airport duty-free shops, and there are more clothes than in outlets. Oh, by the way, there are also many Chinese shopping guides, haha. Address: Powell Street, Geary Street, San Francisco, CA 94101 Transportation: Take BART to Powell Station TIPS: You must pay an additional 8.25% tax. Brand-name clothing discount store Gilroy Premium Outlet For tourists who want to buy both brand-name and discounted products, going to Gilroy Premium Outlet, which is closest to the center of San Francisco, is a smart first choice for "shopping" for discounted brand names. This place is a factory direct sales center, a bit like the Burberry factory store in the suburbs of London, England. Anyway, if you shop there slowly, you will definitely find the product you like.

Haight-Ashbury, an avant-garde and personalized clothing shopping area, originated from the hippie district (Haight-Ashbury) in the 1960s and is still synonymous with avant-garde, wild and rock and roll. Haight-Ashbury has many unique shops, especially those rock and roll clothing stores with flamboyant personalities that are worth visiting. Tight-fitting leather jackets with tassels, rivets, and quirky patterns, exaggerated, metallic leather boots, belts, and bracelets... These visually impactful rock-and-roll-style clothing series are full of coolness. Many of the genuine leather clothing are handmade, and they are definitely eye-catching and unique fashion items.
