Buying groceries

✅ Updated May 2026

Options range from big supermarkets to wet markets (菜市场) for fresh produce, and Hema (盒马) for app-based fresh delivery in about 30 minutes. At wet markets, point at what you want and they weigh it — cheap and fresh. Imported goods are easiest at international supermarkets or apps. Bring your own bag or buy one at checkout.
