Watch out at the Government Stores

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

easterntrekker 1949 reviews

We were often taken to "government stores" where we soon found out the prices are rediculously high. Often we saw the same products from venders and small markets for a fraction of the cost! As an example I was shown a silk jacket for $79.00 .

Unique Suggestions: If you are told by your guide there is no bargaining at the government store remember that's usually not the case. Its definately worth a try .

Fun Alternatives: I ended up buying the identical one for $15.00 from the local market. This trend was all over everywhere we went.

Da man als Ausländer weder Auto- noch Motorradfahren darf, ist es sehr günstig das es tausende von Taxis in dieser Stadt gibt! Für wenig Geld kann man diese nutzen und sich in jede Ecke Wuhan´s fahren lassen! Bitte darauf achten, das die Taxifahrer das Taxometer anmachen, da sie sonst Traumpreise verlangen!!

Yellow Crane Tower- you might as well just walk out on the bridge and take a look. Inside there isn't much at all.

Just like everywhere else, pushy merchants try to sell little stuff to the tourists. In Wuhan, they sell this map of Wuhan. I got mine from my hotel room for free.
