My meaning was the OLD Silk Street has been closed. The prices are higher at the new Xiushui Market, which some claim as the New Silk Street.

Now IF you are saying the Old Silk Street is still there, operating, that IS news to me. My understanding is that is has been DEMOLISHED.

There was a really interesting article some time ago in the WSJ about the nasty politics behind the closing of Old Silk Street, and how insiders (who own the new Xiushui Market) made lots of money on the deal.
