- Shopping
Guide |
|
China is a shopper's delight. There is an incredible selection
of boutique shops, department stores, and hotel shopping
arcades to browse through. Or you can try bargain
hunting at one of the new "free markets" that
are springing up all over the country.
You're sure to be dazzled by the unique array of beautiful or practical
gifts available in China, from high quality silks and
porcelains to antique screens and traditional Chinese
herbal medicines.
|
Throughout China,
shops offer unique ceramics, paintings, stone rubbings,
embroideries, carpets, furniture, jade carvings,
custom-carved signature chopsticks, antiques, books, and
much more. Shop personnel will often pack and arrange
for shipping of bulky purchases back home.
 Prices
are usually clearly marked in stores and shops, and
English is spoken in most tourist areas. Don't miss
browsing through one of the state-run Friendship Stores;
they are still considered as one of the best places to
find an excellent selection of quality merchandise. One
thing you must remember during your shopping is asking
for the receipt.
Shops & Office Hours:
Businesses usually open from 8:00 to 8:30 am and close
about 7:30 or 8:00 pm.
