Shopping

Beijing has more than a hundred large and middle-sized shopping complexes. Wangfujin Street is the traditional shopping centers; if you have an interest in antiques, you might want to visit Liulichang or Panjiayuan Antique City. If you are looking for export clothing, then you must not miss Xiushui Street (or Silk Street) and Yaxiu Clothing Wholesale Market.

Buying some special local products and souvenirs will enhance the joy of traveling too. Jingtailan cloisonne, jade, pearl, silk embroidery, wenfangsibao, calligraphy and painting, carve ivory, carve lacquer, seal-cuttings of metals and stones, curio, etc. are very ancient; and native handicrafts such as inner snuff bottle painting, clay figurine, paste figurine, Peking opera mask, kites, paper-cuttings, palace lantern, etc. are inexpensive and make excellent gifts for family and friends.
