Step 3: The Negotiation Dance
- Vendor will counter your initial offer
- Meet somewhere in the middle

- Be willing to walk away if price isn’t right
Step 4: Closing the Deal
- Once price is agreed, commit to purchase
- Count money carefully in front of vendor
- Get receipt if possible (not always available)

“Shenzhen weather can change quickly. Keep a foldable umbrella in your bag year-round. Summer afternoons often bring sudden showers.”
Cash Management
“Bring enough cash for the day but not your entire budget. ATMs are available near the port if you need more. Small bills are better for bargaining.”
