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.
