Some foreign tourists believe that China lacks many daily products and food items, or think that available articles are of poor quality and therefore bring many batteries, rolls of film, foods and other articles as part of their luggage. However, in reality many high quality daily articles and food items are available in most large malls, department stores and hotels in China?s major cities. A lot of imported goods from foreign countries are also available. As such, it is not necessary to overload your baggage and bring with you common daily articles and food items.
