Beijing Silk Market

Silk Market or Silk Street is a huge modern supermarket. He gained notoriety by selling fake items from famous brands at low prices. Here you can find almost everything: clothes, silk, souvenirs, handicrafts and even antiques and electronics. Many sellers, focusing on tourists, speak fluent English. It should be remembered that the initial purchase price is always overpriced, so you can safely bargain and try to reduce it.

Renovated in 2005, the Silk Market has become one of the most famous tourist destinations in Beijing. Every day it is visited by about 20,000 customers, and on weekends their number increases to 60,000. On 35,000 square meters of area there are 1,700 boutiques, which employ more than 3,000 sellers. The building consists of 7 floors, including 3 underground.

Goods on the Silk market are almost the same as on the New Yabolow, but prices are much higher than on the latter.
