Discover China · 发现中国

Start low: Offer 30-50% of the asking price as your opening bid. In heavy tourist areas, the initial price may be inflated 3-5 times the real value.
Walk away: The most powerful tool. If you start walking away, the vendor will often call you back with a lower price. If they let you go, the price was probably already fair.
Be friendly and smile: Bargaining in China is a social activity, not a confrontation. Laugh, joke, and enjoy the process. A friendly buyer often gets better prices.
Use the calculator method: Vendors often pull out a calculator and type in a price. You can type in your counteroffer. This avoids language barriers.
Buy in bulk: Buying multiple items from the same vendor gives you more negotiating power. Ask for a package discount.
