Whats the best buy in China?
China’s markets are becoming more prosperous. Shoppers will find that they can get many of the same items in Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi’an as they do in Hong Kong, New York, Tokyo and Paris. However, some of the more Chinese-flavored items may not be as readily available in other parts of the world as in Chinese cities. This, I believe, is what you should consider for shopping. Recommended shopping list: • Antiques, paintings and calligraphy. These can offer a glimpse of age-old Chinese civilization. They are both artistic works for appreciation and wise investments. • Silk. China is home to silk where you can get genuine pure silk, which makes for perfect gifts. A trip to a silk factory usually ends up as a shopping spree. • Handicrafts.
