The STAR 50 Index fell 1.34 percent to 1,478.45 points.
Trading volume on the two major bourses was 1.01 trillion yuan (US$156.63 billion), shrinking sharply from the 1.21 trillion yuan in the previous session. The Shanghai market posted a turnover of 436.3 billion yuan, down 91 billion yuan from Monday.
