Your guide for Guangzhou: shopping

Numerous shops and shops have become a truly integral part of Guangzhou. Shopping here has acquired such popularity that even a hiker sometimes finds it difficult to understand the variety of goods and boutiques. In order not to spend most of the time on shopping trips, it is advisable to hire an experienced guide who will tell you where it is more profitable to buy this or that product. However, the cost of a guide can result in a fairly decent amount, and if it does not speak your native language, you will have to hire an interpreter, which is very costly. For this reason, it is necessary to take care beforehand that shopping in Guangzhou does not turn into one continuous problem. To do this, most travel companies offer to choose their own staff, whose services will be included in the total cost of the trip.

So, shopping in China is based on the following types of stores:

• City shopping centers;
• Bookshops;
• Centers of foreign goods;
• Local shops and markets.

This city has one very convenient feature: you can easily find products of any quality anywhere in Guangzhou. Shopping becomes an even more enjoyable experience, if you do not have to travel around the city in search of the right product. In Guangzhou, you can buy both real brand products, and a very worthy analog, or even quite frankly cheap counterfeit. In this city there is a product for a wallet of any thickness!

If you do not have money for branded products, then it is advisable to go to the stock market. It is not difficult to get to it, it is enough to call a taxi or go down to the subway, however, in order to avoid the many dangers facing foreigners, you will definitely need a guide.

The stock market is a complex of buildings clogged with various kinds of clothes and shoes, and each building is designed to sell a certain type of goods, so you do not have to go around the whole market in search of, for example, new shoes, because all shoes are sold in the same room.

Another important detail that you need to consider when going to Guangzhou: shopping in the stock market is possible only if you have a yuan, and neither plastic cards nor dollars sellers do not accept.

If you want to have a good laugh, then walk around the local shopping centers and take a closer look at Chinese brands. Of course, among them there are also quite worthy brands that produce high-quality and stylish clothes, but the names of boutiques and their logos will pretty much amuse even those who do not understand the brands of the buyer. As for the prices for clothing, they are absolutely no different from European and Russian, but the quality of the product may be an order of magnitude lower. Going to shopping in shopping centers, do not expect to save, for this there are stock markets, so it's up to you what to leave in one piece - a purse or nerves.

Many travel agencies for some reason call the trip to Guangzhou a shopping tour. However, do not tune into a pleasant pastime in a relaxed environment. Temperature under 40 in summer and a huge number of people scurrying around the city almost around the clock - these are the main disadvantages of Guangzhou. Shopping in such conditions will require you to maximize concentration and unprecedented exposure, so before you go to the so-called shop tour, think several times whether the game is worth it.
