For those who want to shop for souvenirs to take home, they can look around, apart from large department stores and shopping malls, in some of the open markets such as the Silk Street, Hongqiao Market and Panjiayuan Antique Market in Beijing.
Unlike large department stores where the prices are fixed, these places are where you can and you must bargain.
Your local tour guides or hosts are the best helper when you go to these places. They will prove essential in finding the real stuff and bringing the prices down。
