Carrefour 家乐福

Drawn by the low prices, the crowds in these stores can be thick and fierce. Try coming on a weekday to stock up on diapers, creams, breast pads, sipping cups, pacifiers, wet wipes, baby shampoos, soaps and powdered milk. You’ll also find cribs, high chairs, potties and pink Cinderella bikes.

French hypermarket offers a vast selection of imported wine, cheese, coffee, canned goods and much more. Wonderful variety – especially at the Guangqumenwai location – but the crowds can be thick. The Sanyuan Qiao store offers free delivery for purchases over RMB 500 – order by email customer@carrefour.com.

The Gallic emporium carries foreign brands like Fisher Price, Disney and Lego and their domestic counterparts.
