[quote=GUEST41275,484554]Hi All, Please be very careful when you join a china tour. My wife and I joined CTC (Singapore Tour Co) for a 8Days tour to Juizhaigou,Huanglong/ Mt.Emei and part of the tour is a visit to a Jade Outlet in Chengdu. We were conned into buying jade items not worth its value. A piece of jade bangle for RMB 52500 about SIN dollars 10500. and another jade pendent for RMB 45800 about SIN 9160 dollars. Firstly, the china tour guide will sweet talk you on the way to the shop. Once in the shop, a sales girl will begin to lead you into the shop and star briefing you about jade. Then all of a sudden a man ( claimed to be the boss) will walk in and start telling story about his life and parents. At the end of his sweet/con talk he will show you some jade pieces ( claimed for oversea exhibition) costing RMB 525000. or more. Then he will tell you he will remove the last "0" which is 90% discount. Most of my tour group guys fell into his trick and we bought. Later did we relised the items is not worth its value maybe . Please be very careful. [/quote]
