Money and Shopping in Fuzhou
The most famous handicrafts of the area are:
Shoushan stone (寿山石). A unique variety of alabaster found only in Shou Shan(寿山) (about 40km from Fuzhou) used to make name chops and all types of beautiful carving. �
Lacquer work (漆器). Especially the Fujian bodiless lacquerware(脱胎漆器), considered one of the three treasures of Chinese arts and crafts. It is lightweight, durable, and often lovely. There is a factory on Wuyi Road(五一路). �
There are also carvings in wood and jade, paper umbrellas and combs made of ox horn.
You may be offered ivory. Most nations have banned ivory to protect endangered species; do not buy it unless you are certain it is fake. In China, this is quite likely, but it is hard to be certain and it might be harder yet to convince customs officials if you try to bring it home.
Electronic Market, Wuyi South Road (In front Apollo Hotel). 9-18. Hundreds of little shops plenty of mobile, Mp3, Mp5, Fake ipod, Fake iphone...Bargain is recommended, but the first price is not as far of the real than in Shanghai. There are also some big stores with real stuff. �
Powerlong (Baolong), (Just take taxi and say Bao-long). Big mall in Fuzhou, more than 200 shops and cinema. Premium brands are in first floor and have direct access to the street.
