Supermarkets

Standard and premium supermarkets for everyday and imported grocery shopping. For help choosing between them, see our guides to the best supermarkets in Shanghai and imported food in Shanghai.

Aldi 奥乐齐

Aldi stores are too numerous to list individually here, but branches are conveniently listed on the official Aldi website and map apps like AMap. Aldi focuses heavily on value, with a large proportion of own-brand products helping keep prices lower than many imported supermarkets in Shanghai.

City’Super 城市超市

A Hong Kong-originated premium supermarket with a strong imported food selection. Three Shanghai locations, all in major malls.

For a full guide to visiting wet markets, including what to expect and how to shop, see our wet markets guide. To find a market close to you not listed here, search 菜市场 in Amap.

Why AMap Instead of Google Maps?

Google Maps is unreliable in mainland China because locations are often offset or inaccurate due to differences between Chinese and international mapping systems. All links in this guide open in AMap (Gaode), which is one of the navigation apps most locals actually use in Shanghai.

Store Opening Hours in Shanghai

Most supermarkets in Shanghai open between 9am and 10am and close around 10pm, although wet markets usually open much earlier in the morning and close earlier in the day. Opening times can also change during Chinese public holidays, especially around Chinese New Year. Check Dianping (大众点评) or AMap for live information before making a special trip.
