Beijing Shopping Musts: Where to Go and What to Buy

So you're in Beijing, and you want to go shopping.

But where do you go and how do you start... and what should you spend your hard-earned money
on?

Fortunately or not, a metropolis as vast and culturally diverse as Beijing offers a panoply of different
shopping opportunities. Everything from dirt-cheap wares to expensive luxury items is available for
the discerning shopper, at a range of different venues covering the gamut from tiny shops and
makeshift street corner stands to large, gleaming, extravagant malls.

One of the most useful quick online tools I've come across is this map with clickable links on it that
redirect to place pages for many of Beijing's larger shopping areas - check it out:

Where to Begin Shopping in Beijing

The first stop on our list is the Wangfujing area, a must to experience for the finer offerings of the
Beijing shopping experience. Here, you will find all the trendy international clothing labels, along with
some really good local branding, too; LI-NING Sportswear is a great example.

While you are out and about in Wangfujing, take time to enjoy some of the exotic delights available at
any time of the day or night in the Snack Street area – there’s lots to choose from for sure (Chinese
don’t really eat roasted silkworms or scorpions, either – and be prepared to have your picture taken
by amused Chinese tourists to their nation’s capital when you do!).

Do enjoy your sojourn around the Wangfujing area; it’s a place that bustles both day and night, and
the atmosphere is always positively charged. Make sure to check the price before you order anything
from the food vendors though, and scan the boards behind them to see if the price seems to line up.
Some of them, especially the vendors closer to the entrance of Snack Street, like to overcharge those
customers who can’t read the Chinese prices on the sign hanging up behind the cooks.

Shopping in Beijing’s Silk Street

Sadly, the charming old silk market has vanished, demolished in 2004. No matter, the spirit lives on
through the myriad of traders plying their wares everywhere.

Don’t be too alarmed at the closure of the old market, because the new center is impressive in its own
way. It has much more on offer by way of choice, too. When it comes to food, you are sure to find
something tasty to suit your appetite and budget, with a large number of restaurants and eateries to
select from.

As in Yashow, another famous bargain hunter’s paradise and tourist trap, the trading stalls around
Silk Street have a mind-numbing selection of goods on offer. Some of this is genuine, but bogus
brand names – let’s not be unkind and label them counterfeit goods – do a roaring trade in the area,
too.
If you’re not put off by a clever copy, do watch out for lookalikes being sold (and priced) as the
genuine article.

Shopping in Beijing’s Malls

Beijing is home to legions of shopping malls, catering to locals, expatriate residents, and tourists
alike. Consumerism is booming.

Due to its sheer size, Beijing has blossomed into a world class destination for international travelers.
It rivals (outstrips?) London, Paris and even New York as a “must see” place, and this in turn has
encouraged development on a scale seldom witnessed before. With that influx of foreigners, foreign
goods, and foreign money comes a huge swing in retail prices, across every sector of the buying
market.

While you can still buy local goods very inexpensively at local shops away from the city center (or in
some nooks and crannies not far from it), head to any of the big shopping complexes and you'll be
paying Western prices.

All tastes are targeted, from the budget conscious to the obscenely rich. On imported goods, however
(and that includes many of the foreign-branded clothing and electronics), official taxation adds as
much as 35% to the price tag.

Several of the more popular shopping centers in town:

 Sanlitun Village – perhaps the best-known and most visited mall among expatriates (though
plenty of Chinese come here too), Sanlitun Village is located right in the middle of Sanlitun, in the
heart of Chaoyang District. An open-air mall with a suite of Western and other restaurants on the
third floor, multinational clothing brand anchor stores like Uniqlo and Adidas, and Beijing’s very
own Apple store.
 Beijing One-World Shopping Mall – as the name implies, everything you could want, and it’s all
conveniently arranged in this popular shopping mall with an impressive 10,000 square feet of
space dedicated to shops and shopping. Lots of restaurants, as well as much more on offer in the
entertainment sense, too.

 Pacific Century Plaza – this shopping experience is right in the heart of the city center, so access
is convenient and easy. A fashionable selection of boutique labels and brands are on offer to the
trendy buyer. Lots of fine restaurants to visit too, when your tummy decides it’s time for food.

Bargain Hunting Rules of Engagement

While the Western shopping malls and more modern stores have set prices like you'll find throughout
most of the West, if you visit some of the more tourist-y shopping areas or some of the more
traditional Chinese shops, expect to barter and banter to get a reasonable price.

When bargain hunting or frequenting (fun!) tourist traps like the Silk Market or Yashow, keep the
following shopping tips in mind:

 Bargain – the shopkeepers in these types of stores will anticipate bargaining as part of the
negotiations, and have priced accordingly, for all non-local Chinese (they'll give local Chinese a
better price, assuming they have a better idea about what an item is worth - but locals still need to
bargain here, too). The rule of thumb for bargaining: if you know the price you want to pay, just
say it, and when you're refused, slowly start to walk away. When the shopkeeper calls you back,
come back and repeat your price; when refused, slowly walk away again. Continue doing this until
you get your price. On average, the prices you'll be quoted as a foreigner in Yashow or the Silk
Market are 7 to 10 times what the shopkeeper is willing to sell the item for if you bargain hard
enough.
 Key words – a simple greeting starts the bargaining process. Most people in Beijing understand
the word “Hello” - it translates to Ni hao if you want to make a good start. Another useful
expression is Tai gui le, or “too expensive” in English. It kind of draws the boundary lines.

 Don’t be impulsive– this should be the first rule of any shopping tour! Check and compare prices
elsewhere because competition is healthy, and shopping in Beijing is no exception. Any good you
see for sale in a tourist trap-like shop is for sale in several of the shops next door– make it your
mission to find the best price among all three or four shops selling it before you buy.

 Prices – in these types of stores, prices will not usually be displayed, since shopkeepers give
wildly different prices to different people... but remember that the price you see – if it is displayed
– should never be the price you pay. Just as in most other places, merchandise markup is pretty
standard. In other words, shopkeepers expect to discount; it’s already been factored in!

Keep these rules close at hand when you're in a bargaining-style store, and you'll be able to come
away with some good deals on reasonably nice wares.

However, do bear in mind that for the finer items, you'll almost always be shopping in more
Westernized shops and stores, and paying the ticket price, too... which will be comparable to, or
sometimes more expensive than, what you'll pay for the same items in the U.S. and Europe.

HongQiao Pearl Market

The Pearl Market is not only a market for pearls; it’s also a jewelry, clothing, and electronics hub. If it
has wires, buttons, or LEDs, it’s almost certain to be found right here in this impressive center.

Start on the ground floor, where you can buy anything from the latest 4G software / hardware to
helicopter toys. Move up a floor or two and you’ll soon encounter well-known brands, from silk to
watches, and apparel of every type as well.
Floor 3 has two parts. Section 1 contains traditional Chinese merchandise. If you fancy a fine set of
porcelain chopsticks, you need look no further. Section 2 is what you came for if came for pearls.
Advisory though – as with Yashow and the Silk Market, make sure you shop around (and bargain)
before settling on anything.

Jingshen Seafood Market

Perhaps not strictly the kind of shopping you'd usually have in mind, but if you'd like to combine your
shopping and dining experiences into one, Jingshen is hard to beat.
You’ll find just about every fish in the ocean at the Jingshen Seafood Market (exaggerating... but not
much), and it’s all so incredibly fresh – any fresher, and it’d still be swimming around in the sea.

Choose what you want from a selection of fish, clams, crabs, crustaceans and eels. The place is well
laid out, with the first level dedicated to raw fish. The second level specializes in dried seafood, while
the third is a restaurant area for the preparation and cooking of your purchases.

Beijing Shopping, All Gift-Wrapped Up

We've really only scratched the surface of what's on offer shopping-wise in Beijing. There are many
more shopping malls, electronics stores, marketplaces, and little hole-in-the-wall stores all over town.
As soon as you start poking around here, you'll find them.

Use this article as a guide, but don't be afraid to go on scouting expeditions yourself. A veritable
wonderland of shopping opportunities awaits, from more big malls like Lufthansa Center, Wanda
Plaza, and the Viva Mall to the myriad of inexpensive knock-off goods available outside the Beijing
Zoo, you can find whatever you want for sale in this city - all you've got to do is look.
Clothes Shopping in Beijing
Wherever you live, buying clothes will eventually be on your agenda, either for fun or as a necessity.
You have many options for clothes shopping as a Westerner in Beijing, from foreign brands to
domestic labels and specialty clothes. Learn also what you need to know about sizes, sales and
bargaining.

This post published first in November 2013 and was last updated in October 2016.
Shop where you used to shop
Globalization has made it easier to stay true to your style and loyal
to your brands, even if you move half-way around the world. No
matter if mainstream or higher end brands, almost all the big
International clothing chains have stores in Beijing. You can find
GAP, H&M, Zara, Vero Moda, Mango, Guess, Esprit, Uniqlo,
Promod, Calvin Klein, and many more, in most big shopping malls
all over the city. (To see if your favorite brand has a store in
Beijing, check the store locator on their website.)
Flagship stores are often located on Wangfujing Street in the downtown area and in Sanlitun. But
even the malls on the outskirts of Beijing often have a couple foreign brand stores. Department stores
also usually carry many different brands.

Just a note of caution, prices of those foreign chain stores are often higher than in the US or Europe.
This premium can be 15% all the way up to 50% or more over the price you would pay in the US.

Explore Chinese labels

Many people may think that Chinese labels are only offering cheap clothing for the masses. And you
can find those cheap clothes in shops lining neighborhood streets, or sometimes sold right out on the
street. But China also has its own designer labels.

I’m not quite the fashionista with a big budget (as you probably guessed from the listing of some
stores above). But I did some research on Chinese designers. What I learned, and much more, is
included in my new Beijing Shopping Guide.
For sports and the great outdoors
Chinese consumers seem very interested in the sport and outdoor segment. Besides the usual
foreign sport brands, like Nike and Adidas, you find a great selection of sport clothes and shoes of
Chinese brands, for example Li-Ning and 361°. The same holds true for outdoor clothing and
accessories. Located next to a NorthFace store is often a store of the Chinese brand Toread. The
quality between foreign and domestic sports and outdoor brands seem comparable, in my (subjective,
non-expert) opinion.

Buying cheap clothes

Markets like the zoo market (read more about the zoo market and other markets), many small stores,
as well as street markets sell clothing at bargain prices. Sometimes however you need
to bargain hard to actually get the low price.
Quality and style vary, brand names are often fake, and larger sizes are not available. Some stores
may not have a fitting room so you can’t always try on the clothes. But for a pair of jeans under 10 US
dollars, that may be a risk worth taking.

Read more about where to buy things in Beijing.

Finding your size
International size charts are commonly used, so it is easy to find your size. Find as in Recognize. In
international chains, actually finding the size that fits should not be a problem, even if you are not
petite. However, sometimes there are not many items in larger sizes available.
Chinese and other Asian brands often do not have large sizes available. I’m not talking XXXL
supersize but just an XL size, or long sizes for tall people. Even if clothing is labeled as L, it may be
smaller or shorter than you expect. You really can’t rely on the size label info but need to try it on.

Where to bargain
In markets, haggling for the price is expected and often necessary. For example at the Silk Market,
which is geared towards foreign tourists, prices are quite inflated. At the zoo clothing market haggling
is often not possible. Even if you can negotiate, it will be not to the extend as at the Silk Market.
In stores, you can always ask if the clothing item you are interested in has a discount (zhè jiàn yīfu
dǎ zhé ma? 这件衣服打折吗?). Sometimes there is room for negotiation. In bigger stores and
department stores, those extra discounts are usually not available – but it never hurts to ask. You
may be surprised.
On Sale
Often stores may have a store sale going on or specific items marked for sale. A sign saying 打7 折
means 30% off, 8.5 折 means 15% off. Salespeople are quick to help with the math, if the discounted
price is not already shown on the price tag.

Get used to salespeople following you around

In many stores the sales person will follow you around in the store, often standing right behind you.
While that may feel like you are under suspicion of planning to steal something, they just want to be
close by to help and to get any commission if you end up buying something.

Chinese don’t seem to be bothered by this practice, but many Westerners like a bit more personal
space. You can either ignore the sales person or tell them you only want to look around but they will
likely continue to follow you closely.

in Beijing!
 Beijing’s overall urban blueprint has been in the process of adjusting,
upgrading and standardizing. Many busy and noisy lively markets have been removed
from the urban central areas and resettled in the relatively remote outskirts of Beijing.

Some lucky ones have been gentrified and placed indoors like Silk Market (now actually
a huge 5-story mansion). Some of the vendors have been evacuating from the markets
and settled elsewhere. The golden “flea market” time in Beijing has been fading,
gradually diluted by gentrification and disneyfication.

Normally all the markets are open all year round except Chinese Spring Festival. Most of
the markets will be closed for 5 days during China Spring Festival.

By the way, most of the department stores and shopping malls are still open during the
biggest holiday in China. Most of the markets are mainly composed of private vendors
who need to go home for family reunion for the big holiday.

any brand shop in that area/shopping mall for mens clothing, sports wear?

2. Beijing Tour says:

Hi Nani,

The old style yashow market no longer exists and it has been changed into a
upscale market. As far as I know bargains are still popular in the silk market.
There are some good quality clothes and bags, which could be more expensive,
more than ¥2000 for eg. Yes, you can still bargain.

Have a good time in Beijing!

3. Beijing Tour says:

You may go shopping at Guiyou Dasha (Guiyou Shopping Mall ), just across a
street east of Silk Market.

4. Mark says:

Silk Market was also upgraded… not as good as it used to be. No small stalls
anymore. Just small stores and less selection… higher prices…

Best to go to Fuchengmen and the TianYi Market

 Hi,
I was in Bejing in 2010 and was tagging a long with fellow traveller to a market
that I don‟t remeber the name of. Thought I wanted to go this time too. I just
remember we took the underground and as we came out of the underground train
we kind of walked right into the market whitch was „underground‟ too. At the
„entrance‟ there was a simple foodstand where they made the best „pancakes‟.
The goods sold were bags and purses, also in leather, shoes, nic nacs and so on.
Can‟t really remember if there were so much clothes. But it was narow between
the stalls and lot‟s of people. Do you (hopefully) recognize what marked I‟m
talking about?

Very thankful for reply

11. Daniel says:

October 21, 2016 at 1:29 am

Hi Lyn,

I cannot recognise the market that you have described. Since 2010, actually quite
a few markets have been closed to make way for the urban construction.

 Hi,
I am interested in traditional medicine markets, not places like Tongrentang
where everything is packaged – more like markets i have visited in Guangzhou
and several places in Yunnan that sell raw herbs and other products directly. Is
there anything like this in Beijing? (As context, I am interested in plant and
animal use in medicine, so I want to see what kind of things are for sale).
Cheers!

24. Daniel says:

May 7, 2017 at 5:44 pm

No, there is no such medicine market in Beijing. But there is quite some

I went to the Hongquiao pearl market recently. I got a canada goose jacket for
400 rmb, ralph lauren sweater hoody for mens for 100 rmb, nba jerseys for 100
rmb each. . They started at 2000 for the goose jacket . lol .

Best rule of thumb is divide by 5-8 when bargaining. it is marked up like crazy. It
is a bargain place. the russians beaside me paid 2000 rmb each for a canada
goose winter jacket. If you have stupid tourist who just go there and pay the price
they say. I dont blame the sellers for marking it up like crazy. Good Luck !
