On all tours by law the guides have to take the groups to various sites where we can spend our money. We went to a Jade factory where they showed as how they carved jade and had many expensive items to sell. We also went to an enamel factory where they made beautiful vases and items which were also expensive. They would ship the large items to your home for you.
Our group went on a quick tour of the Heavenly Temple, but we skipped out and went to the pearl market across the street.
We also spent some time at the Silk Market. I made a few purchases there. I wanted a small camera that I could tuck in a pocket and have handy whenever I came across everyday sights that I wanted a picture of. However after I bought what I thought was a camera and got it back to Nanjing, I found out it is an MP5 player and it isn't very easy to take pictures with - too many buttons to click to get to the camera. Here is a picture I took with it.
The merchants are getting into Christmas.
