Chinese markets are vibrant places full of fresh produce, street food, and local specialties.
In this lesson, you'll learn to ask prices, bargain, and buy items at the market.
Bargaining is still common at traditional markets and small shops in China!
Bargaining (讨价还价) is an art form in Chinese markets. Start by offering about half the asking price and work up from there. This is expected and even enjoyed at traditional markets, but never at supermarkets or fixed-price stores.
