Jade Market - Kowloon - Hong Kong |
The Jade Market in Hong Kong is always worth a visit. There are so many traders there that it can be very difficult to decide where, if you are going to purchase some jade, you should do so. My advice is avoid the pushy salespeople that do nothing except pester you and choose someone to buy from that you feel comfortable dealing with. I purchased from this lovely lady who was very friendly and helpful but not in a pushy way.
Jade has a very special meaning to the Chinese, it is considered a sacred stone that symbolizes purity and morality and stands for beauty and grace.

ReplyDeleteOh...jade -so beautiful. Lovely post, LindyLou! My son told me that they call jade the "gold" and the real jade (not the jade dust) can be more expensive than gold! There was a jade factory with the most beautiful pieces by the Great Wall in Beijing:) Wish you a beautiful week!
