Actually just check out the night market as everyone else already mentioned. One thing I do remember in China (or just in any Asian country in general) is when you're buying apparel, they may be a size or two smaller than you're accustomed to if you're living in US/Canada.

I just came back from Shanghai and stuff there is very inexpensive. My first "full" meal there was 14 RMB, which is about $2.00 CAD/USD. I avoided the fancy/western restaurants and ate almost exclusively street food, and local restaurants. When I was in Beijing though, I decided to try dining in style a bit.

Most of the goods there you can barter down to as low as 25% of their asking price, and everything I found was cheaper than the North American counterparts. . It really helps if you can speak Mandarin since you can mess with them a bit and get stuff for lower, but because I only knew the basics, I was not as pro as a local.

Yep, 95% of the time you need to buy a size larger, but don't follow this exactly. Always try the thing on before buying it since I found the sizes to be inconsistent sometimes.

PIG OUT IN THE NIGHT MARKET
There are those scary ones that are like black markets with roasted scorpion, toasted beetle, shark fin soup, etc.

Basically everything is really cheap so you can buy everything lol.
Pen, pencil, asian candy/drinks to bring home

This.

prostitutes

I don't know how to approach girls lol.

Doesn't matter. They approach you.

Hope you have fun! Love going over there.
Just go crazy and buy everything. That's what I do.

The first thing you should do is eat AUTEHENTIC Chinese Food. Might taste a lot better than these greasy/ tampered with Americanized foods everyone loves.

You might be able to get a knock-off model of restraint for quite cheap? Maybe some manners?
Ooh, and a sense of modesty, perhaps.

Then again... only $2000...

2000 dollars to me is a lot of money..
