    Wangfujing Street: SILK CLOTH
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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.

    Wangfujing Street: WANG FU JING , the heart of Beijing !
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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.

    Wangfujing Street: Chinese Chopsticks
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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: Everything you didn't know existed - for children
  • Tip Rating:
  • "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: Shopping Heaven
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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

    Wangfujing Street: Shopping street that have almost everything
  • Tip Rating:
  • Wangfujing Dajie is a big street lined with lots and lots of shopping.
    You can find almost anything here, from arts and crafts to the latest world fashion.

    The priced are higher than you might find elswhere but there are still bargains to be had.
    And even if you aren't shopping for anything in particular the street offers plenty of recreation and you can walk around feeling the pulse of the street. Of get something to eat and sit down planning your next move.

    Some will find this street to modern and western for their taste but who said you can't have one without the other. Take one day walking around the malls and small stores here and go on to the silk or pearl markets the next.

    In Wangfujing Dajie the main commodity is clothes, but you can find most things you are shopping for along the street. From cheap souveniers to Rolexes. Yes, the genuine thing. To the genuine price...

    Expect to spend more than you might elsewhere in Beijing, but you can still find bargains.
