New Silk Market

2006/01/23

Synonymous with a visit to the city, the old Silk Alley was a treat of all treats for bargain-hunting tourists. Today, development in the area has made way for bigger and brighter things and one of those is the New Silk Market, a composite of the traders and wares of the old alley now spread out on three floors of this comfortable, safe new building on Jianguomenwai Dajie, Beijing's main drag.

As before, the New Silk Market offers great values on fine cashmere and silk of all types and designer labels are available at knock down prices. The new Silk Market keeps respectable hours, so beat the rush and get there early. Near-by shopping malls offer plenty of places to rest from your busy day's activities where you can sip designer coffee or catch a quick bite at any one of the Chinese or western restaurants in the area.
