Singapore tourist finds Guizhou jade buys mostly worthless

Original: A tourist from the Lion City joined a group tour to Guizhou, splurging over 7,000 yuan on 16 jade products, only to disc

A Singaporean tourist on a group tour in Guizhou, China, spent more than 7,000 yuan on 16 jade items. After returning home and having the pieces appraised, one pendant sold as an 'ink jade' Buddha amulet turned out to be serpentine worth under 100 yuan. The case has fuelled fresh concerns over pressured shopping stops and mislabelled goods on packaged tours in China.

Why now: It highlights suspected tourist-targeting sales scams on Chinese group tours, a recurring worry for travellers from Singapore.
