Shopping in shanghai
Shanghai is famed as shopping paradise . If u like shopping then it is the place to go . But if it is the first time for u to travel to shanghai it is essential to have some Chinese guide to help you to avoid being ripped off. Most of my customers when they visit shanghai , they always want to bring some souvenir for their families or friends , such as a " shanghai shirt ", a nice pearl necklace , couple packages of tea...... If u just shop alone , pls be aware that the price offered by those vendors can be lowered at least one third or even more ,so don't take those NO.s as real and don't feel shy to offer ur price and once u decide to get it , just stick to ur price and pretend to walk away , they will sell to you since there are many shops selling the same or similar things.
you can warm up yourself by some little cheap stuffs and once you got on its way, you will think it is also funny experience by playing the price with them and finally get what u are looking for.
So when you shopping, enjoy your shopping in shanghai!
