Most Bargain Hunt Beijing Day Trip (close)

If you are not interested in shopping at high-end shopping malls in Beijing, 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. It is a great and fun time shopping in these free markets.

Picking from your hotel in Beijing and head to Zoo Market in the norhwest of Beijing. This is a huge wholesale market group which is composed of seven markets. And the most popular ones are Tianle Gong, Jinkailide, Shiji Tianle and Dongding. Buy them here for half-price but be geared up for bargaining hard or buy in volume. In some places they can be more expensive, but about 90% are the cheap prices listed above. Weekday mornings are the best time to come and be prepared to spend a few hours walking around.

After Chinese Lunch, go back to the downtown Silk Market for shopping. Everything is sold here from mobiles, DVD's, sunglasses, belts, jeans, shoes, handbags, luggage, jewellery, toys, you name it it's here. The more you buy the cheaper the prices - you have to bargain hard and be prepared for a lot of abuse, grabbing you to prevent leaving their store - it's mayhem but oh so much fun!

After the most Bargain Hunt Beijing Day Trip, you are transferred back to your hotel in Beijing around 5:00pm
