The best fashion and gift stores - China in 2024

Practical information : Treat yourself (& others) China

Timetable

There are no regulatory hours. So the businesses do a little bit as they want. In general, they are open 7 days a week, from about 9-10am until 8-10:30pm. The banks are open from 9:00-9:30 am to 4:00-5:00 pm, with a break between noon and 1:00 pm

Budget & Tips

You make your purchases in the stores in Chinese cash. The prices are all taxes included.

Sales

Since the early 1990s, November 11, Singles' Day, has been a day of huge promotions. In 2009, the boss of Alibaba, leader of the Chinese online commerce, took over the Singles' Day to make it a promotion operation in order to boost the sales of his website. Since then, this day has become the biggest sales operation in the world, ahead of the American Black Friday.

What's very local

It is in the rural markets that you will find the most unusual and original products. You will be able to haggle for jewelry and ethnic textiles in the mountains, lanterns or a bust of Mao, it's up to you.

Tourist traps

Beware of counterfeit products. Back in France, you will be outlawed if you are in possession of such products!
