Markets and local shopping
Compare local markets, shops and malls. For souvenirs, check material, quality and whether you can transport them. Agree on the price before buying and keep proof of payment.
Shopping centres
In Sanya and Haikou, shopping can fit a city day or rainy weather. Plan access and return travel, especially when a mall is far from your hotel. Compare the final price, not just the advertised discount.
Duty-free: check eligibility
Duty-free purchases have specific conditions. Do not assume automatic eligibility or unrestricted collection options. Before paying, confirm documents, limits and collection arrangements with the official retailer.
Returning to Poland
Retailer rules and customs rules on return are separate matters. Check current Polish customs restrictions, especially for food and animal or plant products.
Before you travel
- Confirm your itinerary and local conditions.
- Keep documents and key addresses offline.
- Check current requirements for your citizenship.
