Wudaokou Clothing Market
In Beijing's north-eastern parts there are many universities. The Wudaokou area contains a particularly large number of students, which explains the popularity of Wudaokou Clothing Market amongst them. Therefore, the range of clothes is also targeted especially towards students.
The market is not the biggest in town, but the two floors are jam-packed with clothes, shoes and accessories. Many of the clothes are of the hipper/trendier kind and you will seldom find the same clothes in two different shops. Should you get tired of shopping you can head up to the top floor and get your nails painted for just a small sum. You can also find a few odd shops selling jewellery, sunglasses, posters, and simple electronics such as MP3-players, etc.
Shopkeepers and atmosphere
Few shopkeepers speak English but they are friendly and not very intrusive.
Many of the passages between the shops are narrow, so on afternoons and weekends it can get quite crowded at the market.

Do you get large sizes in clothes? probably the equivalent of XXL in most places?
Is wudaoku near Zhongguancun District ?
Plan to go Zhongguancun, the gate city Mall, then tot to go here if it's on the way.
Staying at Gulou station area hotel.
Yes, it is in the same part of town but not very near since Beijing is a huge city. Guess taxi would take something between 10 and 30 min depending on the traffic.
Alternatively, you can get to W market on the public bus No 656, it takes you directly to the market. Other public buses that stop at the market are the following: 632, 478, 490, 392, 562, 810, 836 and 103.
