Beijing is a paradise for shopaholics. There is a large variety of items from elsewhere in China and abroad. Many emporiums anddesignated tourist shopping centers have foreign currency exchange counters and accept major credit cards.Modern Beijing offers many shopping opportunities.
There are many supermarkets, shopping malls, shopping areas and distinctive markets. For day to day items, supermarkets are well stocked. Shopping malls in China, to some extent, cater for the high end of the market. Large shopping malls in clusters form shopping areas, some of which are in fact commercial streets.Bargaining is a routine in China when shopping, with the exception, of course, of supermarkets, department stores and exclusive shops.
In China, bargaining is neither a quarrel nor a face-losing act, but instead a friendly communication. Remember: vendors always overcharge, allowing a wide scope for you to haggle.
