Will the tour guide allow us to decide whether or not we
want to see any factories or stores?
Answer: It is you who decide whether shopping should
be included in your program or not, not the tour guide. If you do
not want any shopping, you just need to tell the guide. No shopping
will be added without your permission.
Can you give us some tips for shopping in China?
Answer: Shopping in China is both interesting and
challenging. Silk, tea, antiques, paintings and calligraphy, Chinese
medicines, paper-cutting, and replicas of terra-cotta horses and
warriors are all ideal souvenirs and good gifts for friends. After
you decide what to buy the
most important thing is where
to buy. We believe that a good beginning is half the battle.
Once you have found a place for your shopping,
the next step centers on the price. If the price offered is reasonable
and acceptable, you could buy it directly. If not, bargain
to lower the price.
Some additional points
should be remembered when you shop in China.
What cautions should foreigners take when buying Chinese
antiques?
Answer:
- When buying expensive articles, please choose shops run by
the state.
- Make sure that the antiques you buy carry a wax seal indicating
that it is authentic and is able to be exported from China.
- Be aware that antiques dating before 1795 cannot be legally
exported.
- Keep the purchase receipts. Customs will ask you to produce
them when leaving China.
