Will definitely return

It is a given that there are literally thousands of items to choose from, from low quality jade products to not so high quality jade products plus a lot more non-jade products of various shapes and sizes (and prices). But what is nice about here is that the persons behind the stalls were I bought some items from were very nice, patient and courteous (in spite the haggling that went on) to me, even though not one of these persons knew how to speak english, (and we had to do our conversations in crude sign language and the calculator. This is a far cry from my previous experiences (as well as others) that when shopping in Hong Kong, the vendors are generally discourteus, unfriendly and impatient. To prospective shoppers, just know how to distinguish jade from non-jade, jade qualities, treated and natural jade and you will come out happy. I bought a chess set, mahjong set, domino set, replica terracota soldiers, jade-like household items, and a lot of jade products (rings, bangles, pi disks, bracelets, earings and jade balls) - all for gifts (to myself and friends and relatives) and it did not cost that much. My son, who is just nine years old, would ask if we could go back the next day (because the seller was also nice to him), and we did. We were billeted in a hotel nearby. When I got back to my country, I was telling myself, I should have bought and spent more at the jade market.
