Are these details incorrect?

1. Silk Market

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).
2. Yaxiu Market

Similar to the Silk Market, but significantly less crowded (see Yaxiu Market).
3. China World Shopping Mall

The Silk Market and Yaxiu Market sell the counterfeits, but this is where you come for the originals (see China World Shopping Mall).
4. Na Li Market

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.
5. Friendship Store

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.
6. Dong Jiao Wholesale Market

This is where the traders from Beijing’s other markets come to buy their stock (see Dong Jiao Wholesale Market).
7. Ri Tan Office Building

A former office building on the south side of Ri Tan Park, now a warren of small, independent boutiques.
8. Aliens Street Market

Another in the same mold as the Silk Market, but with a pronounced Slavic twist (see Aliens Street Market).
9. Tong Li Studios

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.
10. Jenny Lou’s

Expat heaven with genuine Dutch cheese, German sausage, French wines, and such like.
