There are many department stores and supermarkets in tourist cities in China. We advise you to buy your food and drink there, because the quality of products there can be guaranteed, but you will usually need to pay a higher price. Normally there is a department store or supermarket close tothe hotel you are staying. If you do not know its location, ask your local guide or at the front desk of the hotel.
Language may be a problem but with a little ingenuity, you can usually manage to communicate through a variety of gestures.
In most department stores and super markets in China, the prices are fixed and bargaining is not permitted. Foreign credit cards normally are not accepted here; so you will need to have some RMB when you go. Keep in mind that you should always ask for a receipt for what you paid.
If time permits, our local guide will take you to designated tourist shops to see handicrafts made with a distinctive local flavor. It is wonderful to see these delicate crafts and you can see the superb craftsmanship of our Chinese artisans. If you wish, you can buy them as souvenirs to keep or as gifts for your friends and relatives. Remember that all shopping is totally optional and your local guide must have your approval before taking you anywhere. At these shops no one will force you to buy anything. If you do not wish to visit any shops, please tell your local guide. If you have any complaints regarding shopping, please contact us. We promise you that we will handle the case immediately.
