This is a really big country.
Cool gift shops?
Well I'm assuming you want Chinese type stuff, so markets are probably your best bet, if you can bargain. As a tourist, there gonna try and rip you off, prices are usually cut by 5* what they start (sometimes)
Basically look at China like this:
Bejing - Chinese, with western comforts.
Shanghai - Western
Hong Kong - British
The rest of China is Chinese, with varying degree's of comfort, all big cities have 4-5 star hotels, but you'll pay the same price as you would in any other country.
I've stayed in huts, shacks, hotels, old hutongs, and many other places here.
LEt me know more what your plans are, and what your looking for and I'll try to help.
