This market is situated at Sanlitun, the popular bar street in Eastern Beijing. If you have been to the Silk Market, you will recognize the concept. Shoes, suitcases and handbags are sold in the basement. On floors one, two and three there are mainly designer's clothes, and on floor three there is also a tailor with a large selection of silk and suit cloths. This floor also holds some children's clothes and silk products.
Floor four has a little of everything. Mp3/Mp4-players and other electronic goods, watches, pearls and jewellery, some tea and tea-related stuff, Chinese ornaments and quite a lot of toys. A small beauty salon is squeezed in along one of the walls, offering you to get your eyebrows trimmed, your nails painted and your feet massaged. The prices are low and so is the quality, but after the long walk up to this floor, it can still be relaxing.
Since this market is mainly visited by foreign tourists, its salespeople speak English pretty good.

Hi Marilyn, you have to visit the Silk Market and talk to the salespeople. If you want to buy large quantities you might want to try to find a real wholesale market. It will help if you speak Chinese or know someone who does. shoppinginbeijing.com have little experience of real wholesale markets though.

I bought a lot of shoes for the summer at this market. I can recommend shop B1-082 in the basement and I also bought some lacoste shirts (30 yuan each. I don't know if thats a good price.) in shop nr 2213 but many shops sell those shirts. What is a good price for a pair of jeans?

mahfuz: You can buy brand T-shirts at all these markets. Plain no brand T-shirts can also be bought here but you might need to ask the sales people to find it. Also check with the socks and underwear sellers for single colored ones. Prices are all below 40 yuan... after haggling.

Hi Ron! I would say 70 yuan is a good price for a pair of "brand" jeans. 30 yuan is ok for a lacoste shirt but I think you can push the price down 5-10 yuan. Good luck on the battle field!
