Quote: This place is not the place to go if you want to buy "Chinese things". The prices are hiked up even if you manage to haggle it down to 25% of the originally quoted price. It is more of a department store than a true market, however, if you are... Read the full Silk Market (Xiushui Jie) review

Quote: This really is a fab market, though the name is deceptive. Although it does sell silk scarves, ties, etc., just about every stall sells purses and bags, rip-off Armani Jeans, and of course, polo shirts. I've rummaged through the markets of Hong...

Our hotel had a shuttle service that got us as far as the Beijing Friendship store. This is also... Read the full Silk Market (Xiushui Jie) review

Situated near Beijing's embassies, the Silk Market caters mostly to tourists (I would imagine). It's full of designer... Read the full Silk Market (Xiushui Jie) review

  • September 18, 2000
Quote: The Silk Market runs along Xiushui Jie, a long narrow street that ends near the US Embassy. The name is somewhat of a misnomer, as I didn't actually see any silk there (although several guidebooks assure me there is!). I did see lots of name-brand...
