I often travel to China for business, but as a tourist, I have no idea where to get pearls or have a suit made as the "locals' do. I am not one much for shopping, and I especially do not like to bargain.
Alison, on Jenny's China Tours, was so awesome! She now only took me to the “local” spots, she helped explain how to “shop” like a local. She wasn’t just a tour guide; she had a wealth of understanding about fabrics, sewing styles and detailing. Alison amazed me with her knowledge about different pearls and quality.
It was a great day. I would recommend Alison if you know what you want, but just don’t know where or how to find it in Shanghai.
