For Chinese handiworks, you can check the Cultural Club (文化會館) at Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro (新馬路).
you'll find the flea market on Rua dos Ervanários (關前正街) and Rua de Nossa Senhora do Amparo (關前後街) near the Ruins of St. Paul's (大三巴牌坊). This is part of the old city, where many small antique stores, tailor shops, and stamp stores are located. In the afternoon, the flea market vendors gather and spread out their wares on the ground. You'll find historical commemorative items, relics, small sculptures, ceramics, and other items here.
The government also sponsors temporary markets such as the "Folk Art Market" at Nam Van Lake and the "Taipa Flea Market" on Rua do Cunha (官也街) in Taipa.
Taipa Flea Market: 20 Jul to 28 Dec , Every Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
