Shopping malls are more commonly visited in China, especially in big cities. People like them because they are air-conditioned and have many shops and restaurants in one place.

In many cities, street markets are still very popular. They have unique local products and food, and they are cheaper than malls. Many people, especially tourists and older generations, like them for the traditional shopping experience.

It really depends on where you are in China. In big cities, more people go to malls, but in smaller towns, street markets might be more popular. It also depends on what you're shopping for.
