This place is not just a haven for delicious food and breathtaking scenery; it’s also notorious for its sky-high prices that can leave your wallet feeling a bit lighter than you’d like.
Let’s take a closer look at the local supermarket:

– Imported domestic canned mixed grains are priced at 27 RMB.
– Even imported domestic instant spicy noodle skins cost 14 RMB.
– The popular Haidilao hot pot base is a steep 28 RMB.
– A jar of imported domestic broad bean paste is also 28 RMB.

– And three tiny cucumbers will still cost you 5 RMB.
