-
Another in the same mold as the Silk Market, but with a pronounced Slavic twist (see Aliens Street Market).
-
The Silk Market and Yaxiu Market sell the counterfeits, but this is where you come for the originals (see China World Shopping Mall).
-
This is where the traders from Beijing’s other markets come to buy their stock (see Dong Jiao Wholesale Market).
-
Once upon a time this was officially the only store tourists could visit. Now it’s the last place you’d want to shop; it’s overpriced and has notoriously unhelpful staff. Visit instead for a glimpse of how shopping in Beijing was in the good old bad old days.
-
Expat heaven with genuine Dutch cheese, German sausage, French wines, and such like.
-
A small dead-end lane off the southern end of Bar Street with a string of small clothing and jewelry boutiques that mix fakes with one-offs by young, local designers. Hip, but also reasonably priced.
-
A former office building on the south side of Ri Tan Park, now a warren of small, independent boutiques.
-
It can’t last, but for the time being this four-story indoor market remains the lodestone for counterfeit designer goods. Don’t forget to haggle as if your life depended on it (see Silk Market).
-
Four floors of independent designer clothing and decorative arts stores, plus jewelry and hip cafés, and up on the top floor a couple of lively bars. One block west of Bar Street.
-
Similar to the Silk Market, but significantly less crowded (see Yaxiu Market).
