Dear Travellers
We’d like to have the following quick guide to remain updated for the benefit of new visitors who would like to go shopping at the markets in Beijing.
If anybody having used the piece finds necessary updates, please leave a message or feedback. Thanks!
__________________________
Plan your Beijing tour? If you are not interested in shopping at high-end Beijing shopping malls, where everything seems to be overpriced at fixed prices, then why not dig into the plentiful free or flea markets where you can enjoy bargaining with the local vendors.
If you are not familiar with the markets in Beijing, you may follow us to explore the top 10 Beijing markets below. I’m sure you will get what you want to enrich your Beijing trip.
Note: We have offered subway information on how to get to the following markets. You may use the Beijing subway map to guide you to get to these markets. Happy Shopping in Beijing!
One thing you should know is that Beijing’s overall urban blueprint has been in the process of adjusting, upgrading and standardizing. Many busy and noisy lively markets have been removed from the urban central areas and resettled in the relatively remote outskirts of Beijing.
Some lucky ones have been gentrified and placed indoors like Silk Market (now actually a huge 5-story mansion). Some of the vendors have been evacuating from the old market places and settled elsewhere. The golden “flea market” time in Beijing has been fading, gradually diluted by gentrification and disneyfication.
Normally all the markets are open all year round except Chinese Spring Festival. Most of the markets will be closed for 5 days during China Spring Festival (China’s lunar new year).
By the way, most of the department stores and shopping malls are still open during the biggest holiday in China. Most of the listed markets are mainly composed of private vendors who need to go home for family reunion for the big holiday.

You’d better go to Silk Market. You may go to Silk Market 秀水市场.

Well just take the airport express train directly from the airport to its final stop of Dongzhimen (东直门）, then interchange for Subway line 2, get off at the third stop of Jianguomen (建国门）to the south , then again interchang for subway line 1 and get off at the first stop of Yonganli(永安里) to the east direction , and exit from Exit A. You will see the multi-storey building of Silk Market with tons of stuff! Or you take a taxi directly from the airport to the silk market that costs you RMB 80 or so.
Have a good shopping!
i read that the dahongmen clothing market moved. is that true? thanks. great article.
Hi Sunzal,
Yes, both Dahongmen Market and Zoo Market are to be removed according to the relocation plan by the local government. The vendors and wholesalers in the markets are said to be requested to move to Baigou Dahongmen International Clothing City (112 km southwest of the original Dahongmen Market) and Langfang New Beijing Zoo and Dahongmen Market ( 80km southeast of the orignal Beijing Zoo Market). But the reality is that very few wholeslaers are interested in moving to the new markets though they offer very good conditions in terms of business rental, tax and so on.
There are still many vendors and wholesalers in the two markets. Little practical movement is done in the two markets though much has been said about the relocation of the two markets. They are still very much alive now.
Hi Daniel,
Could you please tell me where can i buy women’s clothing including winter jacket, bag and clothes….. in Beijing near West train station with good quality and how to get there?Thank you.
Hi Julia,
Sorry for mu delayed reply!
You may go to Beijing Urban-Rural Trade Center ( actually a large department store ). The store is about 4km to the northwest of Beijing West Railway Station. You may take Bus 98 to get to Beijing Urban-Rural Trade Center. Or you may walk or take a taxi. Chinese name for Beijing Urban-Rural Trade Center is “北京城乡贸易中心”. Have a good time in Beijing!

Hi Daniel! Where can I find stores/boutiques in Beijing selling fishing equipments? Fishing tackle, lures, etc.?
Hi Lassel,
You may go to Beijing Fishing City (北京渔具城). Its address listed below:
Add: No.18 East Binhe Road, Chongwen District ( Now Xicheng District ), Beijing
Chinese Add: 北京市崇文区东滨河路18号
Alternatively, you may shop online. Check out: http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=fishing+tackle ( or you can put any key words you want to search what you want ).
As both Yashow and Silk Market lost its soul in the rebuilding, what do you recommend for markets instead? I know Pearl Market, but it should be some more, or?
Lassel,
Yes, more and more markets have been losing their souls mainly due to the three factors – crackdown on bogus products, the city revamping and online shopping. The low-end markets have been removed from the city’s glizty center to the suburbs or nearby towns and cities, making way for the modern and functional buildings.
Fewer and fewer local people go to the crowded markets for shopping. Instead, people go online shopping, cheaper with fast delivery.
You may go to Dahongmen Clothing Wholesale Market 大红门服装批发市场

Hello, i remember there used to be a big market around Sihui, partially outdoor, where you could find everything from paint sprays for car, to alcohol bottles, bathroom stuffs and everything for your home…. Does that still exist?
Hi Dorian,
Happy Chinese New Year!
Great Change has taken place in Sihui area – Sihui Bus Station, Suihui Subway Station. We don’t think the low-end Sihui Market will still exist. More and more low-end markets have been relocated from the good locations in Beijing to the places outside Beijing.
can you please guide me about purchasing ladies bags from baoding baigou near beijing
Hi Awais,
Happy Chinese New Year!
I’ve never been to Baoding Baigou. Just check Baidu online Map. It seems not easy to go to Baoding Baogou from Beijing by public transportation. The Baidu Mapo shows it takes about 10 hours by using connected sunbway lines and public buses. from Beijing to Baigou. You’d better arrange your own transport, 120km and about 2-hour’s drive.
happy new year! Can you recommend where to buy cotton fabric in Beijing? Also, do they sell silk fabric (not made into clothing)? thank you!

Hi Ali Ashraf，
There have been crackdowns on the copied products with bogus international brands. If you’d like to have some good bargains, you may go to Silk Street Market and Hongqiao Pearl Market.
1. Silk Street Market
Opening Hours: 9am-9pm
Subway: take subway line 1 and get off at the station of Yonganli (永安里), and exit from Exit A

2. Hongqiao Pearl Market
Subway: take Subway Line 5 and get off at the station of Tiantandongmen ( East Gate of Temple of Heaven 天坛东门). Then walk to the north you will see the market.

Went to baoguosi on both weekday and on a Saturday and on both occasions it was dead, no stalls just a few within the main building. If this is is normal it’s not worth visiting!
Hi Rob,
Thanks for your update! We’ll check out. Much appreciated!
Hi Rob,
Yes, it has been closed to give way to the protection of Baoguo Temple. Much appreciated for your update!

hi I’m visit beijing in May 2016 and want to go to Photography shops. Staying Radison Blu. Also after old traditional markets, food markets etc as want to photograph these kind of scenes. Any recommendation please? many thanks..
Hi Daniel
How do i go to the da hong men shopping centre
which mrt line and how to walk there? Is it walkable?
Thank you
Hi May,
I suggest you just take a taxi going there since there is no direct metro line from the downtown. Actually the market area is just about 9 km south of Tiananmen Square. A taxi ride costs you about 22 yuan.
By the way, Da Hong Men comprises over 20 markets ( or buildings ).
Have a good time!
Hi Dear how are you?
I used to come to Beijing a lot and the market I loved most was silk market because I love clothes and shoes a lot and also because I’m a good bargainer. I wanted to come to Beijing in June and I hear that there was no more bargain at silk, prices are higher around ¥2000 for eg. for one givenchy women’s bag and that the sellers do no more accept bargains and that they tell you to leave if you call a lower price. And also please tell me if yashow market is still there because I couldn’t find an update. Please let me know before I book a ticket. Thanks a lot.
