I feel that there should be at least a 20% discount for duty-free and non-duty-free products. Then, many products here will also have a 20% discount on the duty-free discount, and even some (discounts on duty-free items) are very low. , to a 40% discount (discount), I think this discount is (great), which is equivalent to "recovering" a lot of the money for our air tickets and hotels in (Sanya) this time.
