If you travel to Yunnan with a group, shopping in the store accounts for a large part of the trip. Whether in Kunming or in the tourist attractions in Kunming, most of the tourist attractions you come into contact with have shopping spots, such as "Colorful Yunnan" and "Lee Tae Palace"
Wait a minute. The advantage of buying jade in these places is safety and convenience. Generally, there is no need to worry about buying fakes. The disadvantage is the high price. The reason is, "this matter can't be too detailed", you know. In addition to receiving shopping spots at designated locations, there are many small shops and stalls selling jade. The advantage of buying jade in these places is convenience and fun, but the disadvantage is that the quality cannot be guaranteed. If you are not very knowledgeable, you may buy fakes.
If you don't join the group or have more free time, you can go to the local large department store, such as Kunming's "Kunbai Jewelry" and "Geology and Mineral Jewelry". Shopping in department stores is almost the same in any city. The shopping environment is good and the quality is guaranteed. There may be a discount, but generally there is no bargaining. Don't worry about buying fakes, but the price is relatively good. Because of their costs (including rent, decoration, drawings, staff salaries, etc. ) are relatively high, and the price is naturally high. I have a jade shop in other provinces, not far from the local department store. When the customer compares the price of her jade with that of the department store, her business is easily completed.
If you have enough time in Kunming, you can visit several jewelry markets in Kunming-"jing xing Jewelry Market" near Kunming Pedestrian Street, "Yuan Bo Zhu Bao Market" near Kunming World Expo Park, and Kunming University of Science and Technology.
"Xiaolong Square Street" and "Jinhua Jewelry City" near Kunming Railway Station. "jing xing Jewelry Market" and "Yuan Bo Zhu Bao Market" have many high-quality goods, and many local people and rich people who know the goods are scouring there. General foreign tourists, if they don't know much about the goods, will be surprised by the quotations from the merchants inside.
