Mai OrigenMay 25, 2012This is place for the night market in Beijing. You have to know how to haggle. If the vendor tells you the price haggle for it @ 10% of the price chances are he/she will give you what you asks for!Upvote10DownvoteUpvoted 3 weeks ago

Emily XuNovember 26, 2018The first shopping mall in Beijing! It bears the memory of generations of beijingers. The new shop "Hamleys" is a children's paradise.UpvoteDownvote
Clara LuAugust 17, 2015Nice place for wandering and shopping. Haggle! Never pay for more that 1/3 of the starting price. Also be careful of pick pocketers; keep your bag zipped and in the front.UpvoteDownvote
Stefania MazzoliSeptember 18, 2014Absolutely to visit one evening. The street is full of lights and there are nice shops. Don't go to the food part of the street, mainly tourist traps, if you go bargain everything!UpvoteDownvote
