Beijing Shopping
Beijing has many shopping districts offering a great variety of goods. The traditional shopping districts include Wangfujin Street, Qianmen Street, Dongdan and Xidan Commercial Street. Now Jianguomen Wai Street and Chaowai Street have risen to the top for the latest and most luxurious items. Shopping at outdoor markets remains not-to-be-missed experience for foreign travelers.
The street is considered to have originated from Qing Dynasty, which is evidenced by the ancient wooden architecture lining either side of the street. Products sold here include jewelry, antiques, and ancient calligraphy and paintings. The Liulichang Culture Street, a few minutes' walk from the south of Hepingmen Subway Station, is a great place for shopping in terms of both variety and atmosphere.
