Insider tips

Be prepared to haggle when shopping in market places. If negotiating doesn’t get you a fair price, smile, shrug and walk around – there’s bound to be another who will agree to your price.

Enjoy a pot of authentic Chinese Tea. Tea is savored and served at almost all times of the day as part of Chinese culture.
