Travelers with a passion for shopping will find their trip to Sichuan quite
unforgettable. Generally speaking, objects worth buying can be divided into four
categories. Top of the list is wine! The most famous wine here is Wuliangye (the
name literally means wine produced from five different types of crop). Jiannanchun
and Luzhoulaojiao are also good brands that can be found in all the major food stores in
Chengdu. Sichuan tea is also highly acclaimed and good varieties can be bought in Emeishan. Sichuan food is
another thing worth buying and for those who want to practice making Sichuan cuisine at
home, Shanxian bean sauce is a good buy! However, most popular with tourists here are the local handicrafts such as Sichuan Brocade, Sichuan tapestry, porcelainand bamboo. The best place to buy these
articles is in one of Chengdu"s Handicraft Shops. |
