    No JOKE!
    It seems that there is *some* regulation against counterfeits here, but I do not rely in it too heavily as there are MANY that slip through. I am not sure there is any effort there to control it?

    Chinese Food of course....! Visit a Dim Sum place.....Oh, and Tea....They have great Tea....

    I'd steer clear of the razors I think, especially from any street vendor...I have a good friend in Hong Kong. Let me know if you need any advice.

    Yes, tea of course, but take it easy in the customs...

    Second on the tea. I try to get all my tea while in China. It's a steal compared to the prices you'd pay online...

    Try some "jun shan yin zhen" (君山银针) tea. It's great and (supposedly) very good for you. If you're a fan of history you may have heard that this was one of Mao's favorites and, I believe, was sent en masse to the Soviet Union as gifts.
