Not all jade shops brought by Yunnan tour guides are deceptive. The tour guide will get a share of the profits.

The jade in the jade shop is real, but it doesn't match the value. For example, if this is C goods, he will sell you the price of A goods. The key is not the tour guide, but that these shopkeepers give high kickbacks to travel agencies, which find it profitable and then attract you at low prices.

This has long been an open secret, not only for jade, souvenirs and specialties.

If you plan to buy jade in tourist attractions, please take a photo and send it to Brother Jade to help you palm your eyes before paying.
