I have spent a whole month in Lijiang in October and have bought lots of things from which I have accumulated some experiences that I’d like to share with you.
Don’ts:
1. Never ever buy jade in Lijiang because jade is not bound in Lijiang, the so-called excellent jade actually
was faked by some Fujian businessman with organic glass.
2. Better not buy silver ornaments in Lijiang. The silver ornaments made by craftsman in Lijiang were good before, but right now some people of Bai Nationality from Dali, in order to snatch sudden huge profits, are fabricating silver ornaments with cupronickel. It is really hard to make distinction between “Silver ornaments” made by real silver or cupronickel. The truth can only be revealed after you have wore them several days later when the color of the fake one turns to be black.
3. Do you believe the fossil trees with billions of years age? I doubt that. One of my Chinese friend, an expert on archaeology, has told me that “the fossil trees” advocated by the local peddlers were merely made of wood and carpolite. Such trees are priced at tens of thousands RMB.
Dos:
1. Around the Sifang Tingyinyue Square At Shuhe old town in Lijiang there is a little handicraft shop called Yuanshiren sales handicrafts of typical Naxi(a famous local nationality in Yunnan province) style at reasonable price. As souvenirs for your friends, they are worthwhile indeed!
2. Another good handicraft is Bunongling small bell which was made with old intricate craft by skilled craftsman. It looks cute and the sound is rather ringing.
