  • Shopping Tips While Travelling
    It's common sense to buy some local products and souvenirs while travelling. But how to enjoy it a worthy way is really something to learn about.
    1.Local Feature
    Local products are not only memorable but also genuine and cheap and worth buying. Such as, Longjing Tea from Hanhzhou, Coconut from Hainan, traditional dress from Yunnan, Hada from Tibet. It's true pleasure making these things gifts or keeping for memories.
    2.First Small and Light.
    Some local merchandises should not be bought for they are big, heavy and very unconvenient to carry personally. We all know that the less packages the better while touring mountains and rivers by coach and boat. Most worse, some souvenirs are fragile and easy destroyed during travel. So we needn't throw our money into water.
    3. No Greedy and Miserly.
    In som resorts, we often come across many who hawk around and sale fakes. Such as, tea, pearl, necklace. Travelers should fight back temptation of the 'fair' price. Don't regret and sigh after buying these cheap goods which laterly found worth zilch.
    4.Believe Yourself.
    fter tourism neatening, most of the tour guides will obey vocational morality and charge fair. But still some tour guides try their best leading the groups to certain shops that promised them rake-off. They extend shopping time and warm-heartedly introduce goods to travelers. So the kind travelers are cheated without awareness. So don't believe anybody easily while shopping in resorts. You should believe yourself and be a mature consumer.
