I recently Googled this topic and found a website which sells contact lenses to expats in China – http://www.lensproxy.com
If you aren’t going to get contacts on Taobao, Lens Proxy is a great option. I get daily contacts (30 lenses) on Taobao for about 70 yuan + shipping.
70 RMB is almost the manufacturing price of any decent lenses, which means you are buying lenses which are made in China (the import fee is so high that there is no way it can be included in the price) and I think you risk some long term complications with your eyes just to save some cash.
And also on TaoBao there is a very limited choice + no option for shortsightedness.
