China is a bargain-shoppers paradise, offering a marvelous selection of high quality, crafted gifts such as jade, porcelain, ceramics, cloisonné, jewelry, carpets, silks, embroideries, furniture and more. In most shops, prices are clearly marked and clerks speak English. During each tour, you will have many opportunities to enjoy shopping at friendship stores, factory gift shops, hotel shopping arcades, "free markets" and China's many new joint venture shops. Insured shipping on heavy items is readily available. Take advantage of the incredible variety of unique and treasured arts and crafts found only in China. Please take a business card from the hotel you are staying if you plan to go around on your own. That way you will get back to the right place.
China Focus will be glad to assist with any shopping requirements, however, we are not responsible for any items purchased while on tour. All transactions between the customer and vendor are to be handled directly with the shop you purchased from. We strongly urge for you to save all receipts and to use a credit card whenever possible for recourse purposes.
