Where can I find nice cheap, nice Porcelain in China?

Jack replied at 2008-4-14 5:05:00

Shops near hotels and the top floors of department stores are a good place to purchase, though not the cheapest. The "antique" markets are also a good place to find reproductions, though it can be hard to escape from attempts to convince you that the items are genuine antiques (with prices to match). Two of the most famous centers for porcelain are Jingdezhen and Quanzhou.

You can find a lot of wineries around the Yantai region in eastern CHina's Shandong Province. Individual travelers may not be allowed to enter them, however, local travel companies can help you make it.

What is the general life span of giant panda?

Sunny replied at 2008-4-11 4:58:00
