    Wangfujing, a seven hundred-year-old commercial street, houses a wide variety of shops and boutiques where you can find all kinds of commodities, some of which are of world-famous brands. The Oriental Plaza (Dongfang Guangchang) is the biggest store in Wangfujing.

    Besides modern department stores, the Foreign Language Bookstore is also in this area. The Old-Beijing-Street is now seated underground, which was built and decorated in Ming and Qing style. The outstanding characteristic of it is the centralized well-known longstanding stores selling shoes, caps, silk cloth, scissors, Chinese brushes and ink-stick, jade articles, tea, desserts, pickled vegetables, roast ducks and so on.

    The most popular sites for souvenir photos are the sculptures on both street sides, reflecting life of old Beijing.

  • Located in the centre of WANG FU JING street, it is a famous state owned old brand store specializing in silk cloth.

    You can find very reliable good quality Chinese silk , all colour,many varieties. I like this place , always but my silk cloth from here.

    If you mentioned the name of the store you any local , they will tell you they know it!

    No bargain with the price, it's quite reasonable , quality is quaranteed.

    This is a street full of department stores / Old Beijing brand store/book store/ video everything .
    I like to come here at weekend, but not for big shopping . I enjoy walking on the floor which is decolated with marble ,especially in a sunny spring afternoon. I like the feelling being in the middle of the people. You know this street is considered as NO 1 street in China. It has many years hsitory and many old brand stores are existed for tens of years .
    There is a Christian church in the street, also you can find starbucks facing the church.
    If you like Beijing snack, right next to this there is place full of all kinds of street food during night time. Generally no worry for the hygiene , nothing happened to me when I eat there!

    Enjoy!

    Wangfujing is central Beijing's most fashionable shopping district. A short walk east of the Forbidden City, it's a mix of international stores full of designer clothes and narrow alleys of antiques and food stalls. There are also cinemas and giant bookstores (with decent English language departments). The main street is pedestrianised and ideal for browsing. At the south end, Oriental Plaza offers exclusive shops and high fashions, while further north the prices are a bit more affordable. Even if you don't need to buy anything, it's a good area for people-watching and checking out the richer, more fashionable side of Beijing.

    most prestigious department store in beijing, it is comparable to Bloomingdales. Unlike shanghai, beijing has less luxury department stores and this is the most popular, situated in the hip wang fu jing street, it carries many foreign brands such as Calvin Klein, Nina Ricce, Gucci, Prada, Lanvin etc. The first floor is home to cosmetic brands such as Christian Dior, Elizabeth Arden and Guerlain and boutiques like Mondi, Yves Saint Laurent, Nina Ricci, D'urban and Charles Jourdan. The second floor houses the ladies department, lingerie, accessories and leather bags plus a coffee shop. The third floor has the men's department, and on the fourth floor are children's clothes, toys (plenty of foreign brands) and household items.

    Opens 10am-10pm everyday.

    whatever foreign brand you like is available and slightly cheaper than in other countries.

  • "Kids' Stuff" is located over four floors of a shopping complex on Wangfujing Street.
    Tie up your children or leave them on Tienanmen kiteflying before you enter here!

    Absolutely every variety of childrens' toys, shoes, clothing, baby gear - everything is here.

    I bought two pairs of sandals for a nephew and a niece pria\ced at 128 and 98 Y respectively. Beat down the price with about 25 % on that.

    Wangfujing Street: Chinese Chopsticks

    There are a lot of varieties of chopsticks, made from different kind of material and of different colors.

    I bought chopsticks for a friend who was getting married, I got her a pair that looked like bambou ( the wood was made to look like a bambou, there is nothing painted on them). I thought they were very elegant. Moreover, it came with chopsticks holder and a nice box.

    You can also buy the whole set (for 10 people). If you don't intend to spend so much, there are very simple looking chopsticks for 18 RMB (10 pairs).

    Prices vary following the style and wood of the chopsticks. You can get 2 pairs of nice chopsticks for 70 RMB. Simple ones (the more practical ones) cost around 20 RMB for 10 pairs.

    Wangfujing Street is the central shopping street in Beijing. Here you find big departement stores, souvenir shops and shops for just everything. Part of it is a pedestrian area with kiosks and places, where you can sit and watch the people. Skulptures along the street enjoy the people.

    On this Beijing street you should be able to find anything you need or want. Small shops and department stores cater to every need. I bought Mao style hats for gifts at the hat shop. This shop made hats for Mao, Chou and others. Some are in the window.

    Anything at a good price
