This article is about the China vacations and you can find some useful information in it if you are planning your China vacations now.

As a Beijinger, I am here to recommend you some cool places for your shopping in Beijing:
1. Guanyuan market:
It is like the outlet in the U.S. and you can get very good deals here. This place is many people’s first choice if they wanna do some shopping in Beijing. You can get all kinds of stuffs here:clothings,dresses,shoes,boots,handbags,t-shirts,etc. The address is: 7th St. Guyuan,Beijing.

2. Dongsi:
The clothings in the northern street of Dongsi are mainly in the casual style and very personalized. In the stores of the southern street of Dongsi, they sell the professional dresses. The stuffs in Dongsi is not bad and you can get very good deals if you are good at bargaining. The only bad comments I got is that some shop owners are snobbish.

3. Jiayi fashion square:
It is in the opposite of Kunlun Hotel and close to Yansha Shopping Mall. There are some stores selling imported goods here and the price is a little bit high comparing with other places in Beijing. These stores are in very good business and you can not bargain here. 

4. Xidan Huawei:
This place is pretty cool and I will recommend the stores in the 7th floor. You can get many cool stuffs there if you have very good tastes in clothings.

5. Zhongliang square:
There is a store named “New Romance” in Zhongliang square. I like it although it is not a cheap store. Another notable store here is called “Hot Wind”. It is a shoes store. The shoes there are very fashionable and the price is pretty reasonable. It is always in very good business and I once met a famouse Chinese pop star Mangjiang in the “Hot Wind”.

6. Wudaokou:
Most stores here sell the Korean and Japanese style clothings. You can get very good deals if you are good at bargaining. There is also a cinema named “Wudaokou Cinema” here. The Beijing Language and Culture University is here and lots of Korean and Japanese students live here. This is why the stores here all choose to sell the clothings in Korean or Japanese style.

7. Zoo market:
It is another famouse outlet in Beijing. This market is close to the Beijing Zoo and you can find lots of good stuffs here. I like the Korean style clothings here and everything here is very cheap.

8. Lady’s Street:
It is close to the embassy areas of Beijing. The most popular clothings here are in the Korean and Japanese style. I like a little store here named “MP3 Korean Clothings”. It sells the sportswears and many Korean and Japanese customers visit here too.

This article is about the China vacations. You can find some useful information in it if you are planning your China travel now.

The most famous shopping mall for the foreigners in Beijing is the Xiu Shui Market(Silk Street Market). It is located along Chang An avenue near the Yong An Li (120) line 1 subway station. You can now walk directly from the subway into the mall via an underground passageway without stepping outside into the scorching heat of summer or the terrible cold of winter. Alternatively you can take a taxi using the Chinese name shown below. Print and hand to your taxi driver.(Silk Street Market is a must see for your China vacations)
Xiu Shui Market has 410 stores and almost 1000 employees. The total revenue is more than 100 million rmb last year. You can get traditional Chinese silk,handmade handicrafts here. But what makes the Xiu Shui Market so famous is not these items. In the the ninteen 80’s or 90’s, most stores here were selling Parallel import items or fakes. There is a story about these fake items: An Italian once bought some handbags and watches. When he brought these fake items back to Italia and do some identifications,the result is surprising, they are not fakes. This story attracts a lot of tourists to the Xiu Shui Market. 
Now Xiu Shui market is in a new 5 storey building. This building replaced the old outdoor Xiu Shui market. If you don’t have too much time for shopping in Beijing, the Xiu Shui market could be the only place you need to visit. In this new market, the store assistants are trained to speak English. This makes your shopping easier here. Of course, they don’t speak very good English. Their English is something like “cheaper”,”your price”,”80 yuan”, etc. They often carry a calculator and use it to show the price to customers.
Bargaining skills are still very important here. Usually you can get 50% to 70% off if you are good at bargaining. The new Xiu Shui market is no longer a place to buy fake items anymore. The government has made a lot of efforts to regulate this market. The chance you will get fake items here is pretty small.(A good news for your China vacations)
Items here is like: Shoes,Trousers,Jackets,Chinese Carpets,Watches,Silk by the roll,Jeans,Chinese Paintings,Pearls,etc. The most attractive thing here is the price comparing with the price in other countries. Sometimes you can get good things ridiculously cheap if you are really good at bargaining.
