Xian Travel Tips

1. You must be careful of fragile products when purchasing tourism handicrafts or souvenirs. Whiling buying fragile products like porcelain, jade products, pottery products or antiques, you’d better ask the shopkeeper to show you. Never take products to have a look in hands by yourself, especially for those you are not about to buy. While hanging out in the academic gate or Huanjue Lane of Hui Street with numerous booths, you should be careful of your bag not to touch products.

2. Don’t bargain with the shopkeeper if you have no desire to buy products. You may get in troubles after deciding price.

3. When you are meeting stall keepers selling products in the street or sidewalk, don’t join them or attempt to buy something with a cheap price, especially many people circling around for they may be cappers.

4. Beware of your belongs in the crowded street.

5. There are many supermarkets in Xi’an, it is quite enough to satisfy travelers’ needs. It is very convenient in the downtown nearby because there are many stores such as CRVanguard in the Feng Lane of South Street, Renrenle chain store in the Jiefang Road, Trust-Mart inside the West Gate, Renrenle outside the West Gate, Carrefour in the North Street and Wal-mart in the hinny market of Dongda Street. The easiest way is to ask the local in the street about the location of supermarket and then you can easily find it.

6. Never believe that genuine “relics” will be dug secretly and sold, especially those who say “it is dug in one’s own field”. Relics in Shaanxi will not be as many as that step. Don’t hold an attitude of small gain, or you will fall into the trap of fraud.
