Here are some top spots, with a focus on Shanghai souvenirs and areas like Suzhou and surrounding spots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shanghai\u2019s Yuyuan bazaar (Yu Garden market):<\/strong> This traditional market is a fantastic place to find various Chinese souvenirs, from tea sets and silk to calligraphy and traditional crafts. It\u2019s one of the best places to go shopping in China.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shanghai Dongtai Road antique market (or similar areas):<\/strong> While sometimes unpredictable, this market can offer varying antique-style items, porcelain, and other traditional gifts from China.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shanghai Nanjing Road:<\/strong> While mainly known for modern shopping, Nanjing Road has department stores that carry high-quality Chinese souvenirs, including silk and tea. Another great aspect of Nanjing Road is the upscale <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/travel-tips\/shanghai-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shanghai food<\/a> options for when you need a break from shopping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Silk markets (e.g., in Suzhou and Hangzhou):<\/strong> For the best selection and quality of silk products, a day trip to Suzhou or Hangzhou (easily accessible from Shanghai) is highly recommended for shopping in China.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Local supermarkets:<\/strong> Local supermarkets are an affordable option for edible Chinese souvenirs like snacks and candies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Art and craft stores:<\/strong> Throughout major cities, you\u2019ll find specialised stores focusing on calligraphy, paintings, or specific handicrafts, offering more curated things to buy in China.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Museum gift shops:<\/strong> Museum shops usually have high-quality and authentic Chinese souvenirs, including replicas and educational items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bringing-your-Chinese-souvenirs-home-to-Australia\"><\/span>Bringing your Chinese souvenirs home to Australia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Half the fun is getting it all back. Two separate sets of rules decide what makes it through Australian arrivals. The duty free concession is about what your shopping is worth, and biosecurity is about what it\u2019s made of. A quick check before you buy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Your duty free limit:<\/strong> if you\u2019re 18 or over you can bring in AU$900 worth of general goods duty free, and $450 if you\u2019re under 18. Gifts, souvenirs, jewellery and watches all count as general goods, so a jade piece or a silk order adds up faster than you\u2019d think. Families flying home together can pool their limits, so two adults and two children have a combined allowance of $2,700. Go over and duty and tax apply to all your general goods, not just the amount above the line, so hang on to your receipts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Food and tea:<\/strong> you must declare certain food, plant material and animal products, and the department\u2019s list includes chocolate and confectionery, tea and herbal teas, and red dates, which covers most of the edible souvenirs in this guide.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wood and bamboo:<\/strong> the strictest rule on this list. All wooden, bamboo and similar articles must be declared on arrival, whether or not you believe you\u2019ve met the conditions, and they need to be clean and free of bark, insects, soil and other contaminants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Traditional medicine:<\/strong> vitamins, supplements and therapeutics for human use have to be declared. Separately, some traditional medicines are regulated under CITES, and those are enforced here under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The Australian Government lists bear bile, tiger bone and ginseng as examples. If you can\u2019t confirm what\u2019s in it, don\u2019t buy it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When you\u2019re not sure:<\/strong> declare it. If you\u2019d rather not, there are bins in the terminal where you can dispose of food, plant material and animal products voluntarily before you reach the clearance point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Holafly-eSIMs-Make-shopping-for-Chinese-souvenirs-stress-free\"><\/span>Holafly eSIMs: Make shopping for Chinese souvenirs stress-free<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mastering the shopping districts of China and getting the perfect Chinese souvenirs is easier when you have a stable connection and can freely <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/internet\/will-my-phone-work-in-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">use your phone in China<\/a>.
