Shopping & Souvenirs

Typical Chinese goods, souvenirs and bargains to look out for include:

• jade jewellery
• embroidery
• calligraphy
• paintings and carvings on woodstone, bamboo

Prices are set by the government, and there is no bargaining except in outdoor market stalls selling items such as antique ceramics and silk. Visitors should keep receipts as they may need to be shown at customs.
