Beijing's Silk Street Mall visitors need to learn the art of haggling which makes the shopping experience more interesting. Beijing’s Silk Street is one of the most visited tourist attraction in the city. A few years back this street market used to be outdoors. Although tourists who have been to the old market missed the attractions of the old roadside clothes stalls, the five-storey mall that opened in early 2005 has its own appeal.
The Silk Street Mall or Xiu Shui Market is located just beside the old street side stalls. On the outside the new structure maintains a traditional Chinese look with its bold red and blue colors while inside visitors will find approximately 1,500 stalls to browse.On the fourth floor visitors can find traditional Chinese crafts, pearls, jade and assorted trinkets.
Silk products and Chinese painting are housed on the third floor. For various clothing items including those with international brand labels, they can be found at the second and first floor. Just be wary about the labels because there are a number of fake but well made copycats of well-known brands. This mall is a good one-stop shop, other than bags, shoes, and hats visitors can also buy their groceries at the basement where a supermarket is located!
