Shoppers are well catered for in Beijing, whether one is looking for antiques, souvenirs or bargains. From glitzy malls to huge markets, there is plenty to explore.
Throughout nearly all markets in Beijing, bargaining is essential. Especially when browsing through large, "touristy" shopping areas for common items, do not put it beneath your dignity to start bargaining at 20% to 40% of the vendor's initial asking price, depending on what that is. After spending some time haggling, never hesitate to walk away, as this is often the quickest way to hear a vendor lower his or her prices to a reasonable level.
