Located in Wanda Plaza and opened long hours, the ultimate place to keep your kids busy. There are tons of jumping games, moving rides, educational stuff. There are people watching the kids and you can pay for one time or subscribe with packages or monthly pass. I went there 2-3 times a week with my son. The best place to go when its raining or snowing !

What to pay: About 30$ for the whole month

Under the Dong Zhou Wang Cheng Guang Cheng there’s a nice antique market. It’s not as big as in the big cities, but it’s nice to walk around there for a while. Each vendor has his own booth, and most of them just let you look at their articles without saying ‘hello’ or ‘look look’ all the time.

What to buy: Most of the shops sell smaller stuff, but in one part they also sell furniture.

There are probably 100 stores in that mall, mostly luxury ones.

The mall has multiple level and has one big department store part of it. There is a 2 levels KFC and a one level McDonald part of it.

What to buy: Everything you can think of. I haven't seen much good deals there but its all high quality and they have also nice decorations.

What to pay: more than average

Picture taking for all occasions; We did wedding pictures there. Packages come in all forms but ours cost less than 500 USD, lasted 1.5 days, we got the originals, couple frames, posters, glass, albums, etc, etc, etc. Very satisfied with the final result. They change the haircut and make up for each scene and the service is VIP.

What to buy: We got a poster, 2 frames, 3 albums (including one big one), two keychains, a chinese framed picture as well as an other one to put on table. Plus i paid 2$ per pics to buy those not chosen in the package (You have to choose around 25 pics out of the hundred they took)

What to pay: Expensive for chinese standards but really worth it.

Just look around the various shops and markets in the old town. A bit dirty but fun and unique.

What to buy: The various small shop's and market's sell old coins, fake swords, art supplies, very loud bugs, scrolls and porcelin. The prices are less than at a tourist atraction (like the Forbidden City or Longmen), but maybe still not rock bottom.

What to pay: Cheap crap is maybe 4Y, a nice vase or art work could be thousands.
