Across China: Specialty shops booming in cities as private economy expands

SHANGHAI, July 31 (Xinhua) -- Tucked away in the Longshan vegetable market in Shanghai is a tailor's shop so small that one might easily miss it, were it not for the sign outside installed in recent years.

However, size is no obstacle for owner Master Ye, who can tailor all sorts of garments, from opera costumes to vendors' work suits. Indeed, he also has orders coming in from far afield, from northeastern China to the Greater Bay Area.
