 | |  |  | Lai Tai - Lady Street: New Laitai flower market | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
The new Laitai flower market is one of the biggest non-clothes markets on the east side of Beijing, although yu can find plenty of clothes in the huge underground market below it!
Lai Tai is a good place for particulary cold days, as the huge range of flowers, plants and orchids is interesting, even if you are not buying.
At the back of the building, and on the right hand side, there are about 20 shops selling aquariums and aquarium equipment.
Note that the best area for cut-flowers - at cut rate prices - is hidden away behnd those aquarium shops in a long hall running along the northern side of the building.
The Chinese love their flowers and love their aquariums, so this is a good place to see Beijing people haggling over the prices of both. It's certainly a good couple of hours people-watching!
Note that the ol, smaller Lai Tai still exists behind Durty Nellies on the south side of the Liangmahe, opposite the Lufthansa Centre.
Orchids, house plants, cut flowers, outdoor plants (at the southern side), and fish - for watching, not eating.
Some of the more esoteric species here include huge discus fish, sharks, jellyfish, rays and lionfish.

| | | | Lai Tai - Lady Street: Ladies only! | | | | | |
The Ladie’s Street (nu3 ren2 jie1) is located near the Lufthansa business district.
In here there are hundreds of stalls selling all fashions of women's clothes, shoes and jewelry. And a lot of stuff from Hong Kong and South Korea as well. If you want, you (lady/miss) can even get manicures and pedicures as well as massage and other beauty treatments.
You can also take your friends with you since there are plenty of cafes “in the streets of the street” to enjoy a Chinese style lunch (Sichuan, Canton, Hunan, Hangzhou, Xinjiang,etc.). There are also teahouses and Japanese and Korean restaurants. And you can even buy some flowers in the adjacent flowers market.
Don't worry, shopping information is broadcast in Chinese and English, alternating with "ladies music".
What else could you ask for?
Woman's stuff.
If your bargaining skills are good, only a few hundred. Theme: Women's ClothesDirections: Near the Lufthansa business district.
