Dear Travellers
We’d like to have the following quick guide to remain updated for the benefit of new visitors who would like to go shopping at the markets in Beijing.
If anybody having used the piece finds necessary updates, please leave a message or feedback. Thanks!
__________________________
Plan your Beijing tour? If you are not interested in shopping at high-end Beijing shopping malls, where everything seems to be overpriced at fixed prices, then why not dig into the plentiful free or flea markets where you can enjoy bargaining with the local vendors.
If you are not familiar with the markets in Beijing, you may follow us to explore the top 10 Beijing markets below. I’m sure you will get what you want to enrich your Beijing trip.
Note: We have offered subway information on how to get to the following markets. You may use the Beijing subway map to guide you to get to these markets. Happy Shopping in Beijing!
One thing you should know is that Beijing’s overall urban blueprint has been in the process of adjusting, upgrading and standardizing. Many busy and noisy lively markets have been removed from the urban central areas and resettled in the relatively remote outskirts of Beijing.
Some lucky ones have been gentrified and placed indoors like Silk Market (now actually a huge 5-story mansion). Some of the vendors have been evacuating from the old market places and settled elsewhere. The golden “flea market” time in Beijing has been fading, gradually diluted by gentrification and disneyfication.
Normally all the markets are open all year round except Chinese Spring Festival. Most of the markets will be closed for 5 days during China Spring Festival (China’s lunar new year).
By the way, most of the department stores and shopping malls are still open during the biggest holiday in China. Most of the listed markets are mainly composed of private vendors who need to go home for family reunion for the big holiday.

Yandai Byway was originally formed in Yuan Dynasty (1271 – 1368) and further developed and reached its height in late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Yandai, literally “Smoking Pipes”, was once lined up with many shops selling smoking pipes, hence the name of Yandai.
Today the general outline of the byway is still intact with many buildings sticking to their originality – shop front residence. Beside keeping the tradition of selling smoking pipes, antiques and jade, the lean street also sells silk, tea, Beijing snacks,etc. There are trendy bars and small eateries on the street.

Any questions, just drop a line.
any brand shop in that area/shopping mall for mens clothing, sports wear?
Hi Nani,
The old style yashow market no longer exists and it has been changed into a upscale market. As far as I know bargains are still popular in the silk market. There are some good quality clothes and bags, which could be more expensive, more than ¥2000 for eg. Yes, you can still bargain.
Have a good time in Beijing!
Hi Sarwar,
You may go shopping at Guiyou Dasha (Guiyou Shopping Mall ), just across a street east of Silk Market.
Silk Market was also upgraded… not as good as it used to be. No small stalls anymore. Just small stores and less selection… higher prices…
Best to go to Fuchengmen and the TianYi Market

Hi Zubeida,
You’d better taxi from your hotel directly to the market.
Hi,
I was in Bejing in 2010 and was tagging a long with fellow traveller to a market that I don’t remeber the name of. Thought I wanted to go this time too. I just remember we took the underground and as we came out of the underground train we kind of walked right into the market whitch was ‘underground’ too. At the ‘entrance’ there was a simple foodstand where they made the best ‘pancakes’. The goods sold were bags and purses, also in leather, shoes, nic nacs and so on. Can’t really remember if there were so much clothes. But it was narow between the stalls and lot’s of people. Do you (hopefully) recognize what marked I’m talking about?
Very thankful for reply 🙂
Hi Lyn,
I cannot recognise the market that you have described. Since 2010, actually quite a few markets have been closed to make way for the urban construction.
Personally, you should go to Silk Market.

Hi,
I am interested in traditional medicine markets, not places like Tongrentang where everything is packaged – more like markets i have visited in Guangzhou and several places in Yunnan that sell raw herbs and other products directly. Is there anything like this in Beijing? (As context, I am interested in plant and animal use in medicine, so I want to see what kind of things are for sale).
Cheers!
Dear Liz,
No, there is no such medicine market in Beijing. But there is quite some traditional medicine markets in Anguo, Hebei Province 河北安国市,about 210 km southwest of Beijing city center.

I went to the Hongquiao pearl market recently. I got a canada goose jacket for 400 rmb, ralph lauren sweater hoody for mens for 100 rmb, nba jerseys for 100 rmb each. . They started at 2000 for the goose jacket . lol .
Best rule of thumb is divide by 5-8 when bargaining. it is marked up like crazy. It is a bargain place. the russians beaside me paid 2000 rmb each for a canada goose winter jacket. If you have stupid tourist who just go there and pay the price they say. I dont blame the sellers for marking it up like crazy. Good Luck !

Dear ASHUTOSH,
There are three big home appliance chain stores:
1. Gome 国美
2. Suning 苏宁
3. Dazhong 大中
Just choose any of the outlets of the three giants scattered in the city of Beijing including the major malls.
