Yichang Shopping


Yichang is located in the banks of the Yangtze River and is abundant in fruites and tea. The Cactus Tea and Xia Zhou Jade have won good reputation around the world for their sweet taste. Except for tea, elegant Xiling Painted Pottery, amongst the most famous ceramics in China, is a popular purchase. Fans of Chinese ancient culture should be on the look out for the so-called "four studying treasures," i.e. the writing brush, ink stick, ink slab and paper. Another local specialty is the Three Gorges Stone, featuring natural patterns, which local people believe have important symbolism. Sanxia oranges, wine and tea are also worth taking home.
