Shopping in China

                From the roadside stall to the large-scale modern shopping mall, from the common store to a popular supermarket, China has numerous perfect places to shop that can satisfy all buyers' desires.

                Shopping in China is easy and convenient, as various department stores are commonly found, especially in the high street. The level and scale of these stores vary, depending on the city and the area. Various items for daily use, which are much cheaper, are often offered in the smaller and more ordinary roadside shops or boutiques. Whenever you need something like everyday necessities, snacks or even clothes, you can immediately go there for your favorite things. Don't forget to try bargaining: you may get a special price.

                In any busy streets in downtown, usually in the shopping center, there are large-scale and high-class emporiums, in which not only the domestic brands but also many well-known international brands are all sold. Everyday items, cosmetics, household appliances, bedding, clothes, and everything upmarket that you wish for can be found easily to satisfy your every need. Bargaining is seldom acceptable, but there are often special promotions or end-of-season sales with an attractive price.

                Most large and distinctive Chinese cities, like Beijing, Shanghai and some others, feature special business streets, where local products are on sale. Merchandise of the same kind is usually sold in the same street, which makes shopping easy and saves you time. The Hongqiao Market in Beijing, also known as the “Pearl Market”, especially attracts female overseas tourists and mainly sells pearl jewellery, while Silver Street, where many boutiques are located, always tempt the youth by its modern fashion. You may also find various characteristic streets selling stationeries, paintings, handicrafts, silk and embroidery, jade articles, furnishings, musical instruments, even flowers, as well as grocery streets or food streets. Some of the business streets are pedestrian malls, where tourists can relax and shop at their leisure.

1. China may satisfy any shopping needs.
2. The high street is a better place to shop.
3. You can find the cheapest price in Beijing.
