Afternoon friends
I will be traveling to China at the end of December & Hong Kong early January and was wondering what delights i could buy and bring back to the UK? from local crafts, to clothes, food and drink etc etc!!
Ideas on costs of items would be great too, so i have an idea how much money to put aside for such goods!!
Thanks in anticipation of your reply
Regards
4ndy

Hi,4ndy,

Of course, you can buy lots of crafts with Chinese Character, i just want to remind that you need to be attention to keep the weight within airline limit then you don't need to pay luggage charge for overweight.

Enjoy!

Yours sincerely,

You didnt say what part of the mainland you are visiting... crafts vary by region. But you can be sure that goods will be much cheaper on the mainland than in HK.
