The old market has been demolished. The new market is open to the public. The new building with an area of 30,000 square meters, known as the New Silk Alley Market, has been completed. There are 1,600 booths in the new building. According to the developer of the building, the advantages of the old market will be available in the new one, targeting the shopping groups including foreign tourists and local white-collar workers.

In the nwe market, the store assistants are much better trained in both customer service and language skills, most sporting a bright red jacket with the Xiu Shui logo on it and an offical looking ID badge. Their English oftern goes way beyound the old days of "cheaper...". "your price...". But the numbers are still oftern typed out on a calculator to be clear and to avoid other customers hearing how much you paid.
