Start with one kind of purchase: city gifts at West Bund, tea at Tianshan Tea City, or clothing on Huaihai Road. These places are in different areas; do not treat the list as a walking route.
No signup required. The checklist and phrases below work without a purchase. Save or print them before your trip.
What should I check before paying?
- Choose one shopping theme and set a spending limit before leaving.
- Save the exact Chinese address and branch name; check current opening information.
- Inspect the actual item: material, size, seams, weight and packaging.
- Ask about returns before paying; keep the written conditions and itemized receipt.
- Check the total cost in your home currency, including fees and extra baggage.
- Check your destination’s import rules before buying food, tea or other restricted items.
