Shopping
Understanding people no longer associate China with something of poor quality and cheap, because here you can buy excellent quality goods of various kinds at fairly reasonable prices. However, it is not so easy to go to China for shopping on your own, as in the end you can significantly overpay for purchases. Therefore, shopping tours to Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai or, for example, Guangzhou, are so popular, because they allow not only to buy at a guaranteed low price, but also to see local attractions.
It is especially pleasant to buy something in Beijing – after all, there is even a Russian street, Ya Bao Lu, where the sellers speak Russian, and all goods are adapted for us. Inexpensive clothes, shoes and accessories can be bought at the Silk Market, while souvenirs and antiques are worth picking up at the Panjiayuan Market.
IMPORTANT: It is accepted to bring tea, porcelain, silk products and pearls from China. Many people like porcelain vases and ivory souvenirs. Almost any shop sells various colorful souvenirs like lanterns and caskets.
Many people go to China for fur coats, because they are very inexpensive here. Fur coats can be bought almost everywhere, including in Beijing, as well as in cities on the border with Russia.
How to get to China
By plane
Planes fly from different cities of Russia to Beijing, Harbin, Urumqi, Guangzhou and several other places. It will take much longer to travel by train – from the European part of Russia, the journey will take approximately 130-140 hours, sometimes in transit through Mongolia. From the cities of the Asian part of our country, of course, you will have to travel less.
By bus or taxi
Buses depart regularly from some southern cities of Siberia and the Far East, for example, to Manchuria and some other cities. But it is still much more convenient and cheaper to get to Beijing and the southern cities of China by plane.
