  32. Shopping Tips • Shops are open seven days a week from approximately 9:00am to 8:00pm, 7:00pm in the winter. • Large shopping centers and the Friendship Store may stay open until 9:00 or later. • Night markets usually begin at twilight. 
 • Bargaining is only possible with peddlers who are mostly around the major attractions, and with private vendors in street stalls, or small privately owned shops. And no receipts are ever given.

  33. Keep receipts from stores in case you need to return or exchange an item, and so you will have an accurate accounting of purchases for customs purposes. 
 • Some private stores don‘t expect exchanges or returns. • Be sure you have enough cash with you. • Not all stores, and no small vendors accept credit cards. Government stores do accept them. 
 • Carefully inspect every item you buy. Clothing sizes don't always correspond to what you may be used to. Try on any clothing for size. • Carry a small calculator with you for on the spot money conversions. 
 • Do your homework before you travel. Research items you might want to buy so you can make educated purchases. • If you see something you want, buy it when you see it. You probably won't find the same quality and style item anywhere else. 


  34. Make sure that the antiques you buy carry a wax seal indicating that it is authentic and is able to be exported from China. Be aware that antiques dating before 1795 cannot be  legally exported. Please keep the purchase receipts as Customs will ask you to provide them when leaving China. • Be aware that some goods are not allowed to be exported from China, including, cultural relics, etc. Before your purchase, you must confirm whether it can be allowed to pass the Chinese customs. • Pirated items such as CD‘s, CD-ROMS are subject to confiscation by customs when you return home. • Preparing to buy something fragile? Take a roll of bubble wrap with you. Not all items purchased are packaged to inhibit breakage. • Do be aware of pickpockets. Don't show too much money when making any purchases.
