Part IV Feature Reading Creating a shoppers’ paradise

pre-listening questions:

1) Why do overseas tourists like to buy souvenirs on their China tour?

2) What is the lifeline of the hotel shop?

Millions of foreigners and overseas Chinese visit china every year on business, for sightseeing or exchanges in the fields of economy, trade, sports, science, and culture. Many of them return home loaded with souvenirs and gifts. In fact, there cannot be many people who could manage to stay in china and not but tempted to do any shopping. China offers a dazzling range of


Goods from antiques, jewelry, Chinese paintings and

calligraphy to chopsticks, garments, foods, Chinese

patent medicines and tonics, to name just a few. In fact,

shops are becoming one of the pillars that support

china’s hotel industry. They have been adding much to

the convenience and pleasure of guests and to the

financial success of the hotel.

Arts and crafts are the main products of a hotel

shop, which have become the favorite goods as well as

eye-openers to foreign and domestic buyers. The jade

carving is characterized but its distinct national style of


Simplicity, gracefulness and delicate lucidity. The cloisonné, which enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad, are beautiful and elegant in modeling, splendid and graceful in design and brilliant in colors. Laquerware, multifarious in kind and exquisite in workmanship, it noted by elegant modeling, beautiful figuration, and lustrous color. Porcelain is perhaps the greatest invention of the Chinese people. The chinaware made in Jingde Zhen – the capital of porcelain – is known to be “as white as jade, as thin as paper, as bright as mirror and as melodious as “qing”(an ancient Chinese musical instrument)”. Silk products and embroidery, exquisite in workmanship


multifarious in patterns, harmonious in color scheme,

and distinctive in national style, are really good buys in

china.

Many tourists are also interested in some special

local crafts such as clay figurines, sandalwood fans,

paper-cuttings, theatrical masks, kites, shell-carvings,

etc. All in all, China is not only a country with a long

history of culture and art, but also a shopper’s paradise.

Shouldn’t we help our guests take home more happy

memories and more keepsakes?

All this creates great opportunities for hotel shops.


In order to meet the increasing shopping needs of

the customers, the staff should not only be familiar

with the goods, the price and the customers, and not

oly have a clean and pleasant appearance and a

good command of job-procedures, but also have a

correct attitude toward serving the guests

wholeheartedly.” Try to make every customer feel at

home and feel the value of every coin the spend.”

This is the lifeline of hotel shop, and of the whole

hotel industry.
