1, go to Kunming to buy jade: Kunming is the capital of Yunnan, with convenient transportation and a relatively large jade distribution center. Jing xing Flower and Bird Market and Xiaolong Sifang Street are relatively concentrated areas of jade shops, with many products, high, middle and low grade. But it's so complicated that it's usually difficult to tell the truth from the false.

2. Buy jade in Lijiang, go to dali: Dali and Lijiang are both tourist attractions, and shops selling jade can be seen everywhere, but the grades are relatively average, and most of them are small pieces of jade carved by machines, with prices ranging from several hundred to several thousand yuan. However, there are many fake jadeites in tourist attractions, so be careful when buying them.

3. Go to Tengchong Ruili to buy jadeite: Tengchong Ruili is closest to Myanmar mining area, far from Kunming, with relatively backward traffic and fewer tourists than Kunming and Lijiang, so the price of jadeite jade is more realistic. In Ruili, you will often meet Burmese walking in the street and selling jade by the roadside.
