[quote=ANNA                    ,1382]XIDAN This area is north of West Chang'an Avenue and has many different shopping options. Xiadan Market is the largest shop, and it has recently been modernized. wide range of merchandise is available along with a friendly and helpful staff makes shopping here extremely interesting. There is also a large Xidan Shopping Center in the immediate area. LIULICHANG Located southwest of Qianmen, this market specializes in Chinese paintings, calligraphy, rare books, and arts and crafts. At this market the shops all have the look of a traditional Qing Dynasty market area having been rebuilt in the 1980's. A fun place to stroll through and shop. Bargaining is limited here. PANJIAYUAN Antique lovers who know their stuff will be very happy shopping here. Most of the real antiques vendors are in the rear area of the market and are usually peasants from the countryside who sell items collected in their villages. Come very early on weekends, Sunday is the best day for the antiques. Bargain hard here. SILK MARKET Also known as Xiu Shui, Silk Alley is really a north-south alley which runs from Xiu Shui Street south past the US Embassy to Jianguomenwai Avenue. Many silk items and other type of garments are for sale. Designer jeans, silk pajamas, silk scarves, outdoor jackets, shoes, children's clothes. Don't necessarily believe the designer label inside the garment. One never knows what will be for sale on silk alley on any one day, but many black market items are everywhere.  CD's . Beanie Babies, and computer items aren't usually the real thing. A real fun place to stroll, and bargaining is expected. It is usually very crowded. Food vendors are usually there as well. ...Hope it can help[/quote]
