Beijing's shopping malls are evenly distributed, with popular malls in every urban area. If you are pressed for time, follow your itinerary or place of residence to the nearby malls.
If you have more time, give up Wangfujing, a tourist favorite! Go to the owner's three favorite shopping districts: Xidan, Sanlitun, Guomao~
To find good goods, go to Xidan, where all the brands have small stores;
To feel the trend, go to Sanlitun, where there are a lot of street brands, open-air malls, and foreign atmosphere;
For luxury goods, go to the Guomao area, which is home to a lot of flagship stores of luxury jewelries.
The next focus is on the three most popular shopping districts!
Xidan Shopping District
I live near Xidan and recommend checking out the west. There are a lot of young people, a concentration of shopping malls, and a lot of good finds. There are stores of all grades. You can start your visit from Xidan subway station/Lingjing Hutong subway station.
Xidan Joy City
The most popular shopping center in Xicheng District is "Xidan Joy City". Actually, there are many Joy Cities in Beijing, and Xidan seems to be the most popular one. It's a great place to shop in the neighborhood, and it's got all the right brands, and the stores are huge!
Laofo Department Store, Xidan Hanguang Department Store, Xidan Junta Department Store.
If you haven't had enough of Xidan Joy City, you can continue shopping at Old Master Department Store, Xidan Hankuang Department Store, and Xidan Juntai Department Store. But much like Joy City, you can add some brands that Xidan Joy City doesn't have.
Sanlitun shopping area
Sanlitun shopping area Chaoda, Taikoo Li South and North, Sanlitun SOHO, nearby is a quiet embassy area or Dongzhimen Dongqiao shopping area.
QiaoFuFang操帝购物中心--最高的购物中心
Duang！Look at the design of other people's buildings, a little higher.
The meadow is a comprehensive design embodiment of famous architect Teng Xu's aesthetics of spatial values and green technology concepts. In short, the details move. There are brands here that are not found in regular shopping malls and may not be too affordable to shop with confidence.
On New Year's Day, I also caught the Little Prince's exhibition at Cao Fang Mall, which was both interesting and beautiful. It's definitely not the same as a regular mall shopping experience because I just can't afford it hahaha.
The World Trade Center Sky Steps across the street from Fu Fang Prairie has a huge canopy that is especially nice at night!
Taikouli South and North, Sanlitun SOHO
Sanlitun Taikouli is a crowded place in Beijing, there is a neat operation to keep your eyes open is good, haha. All kinds of street photography, people from all over the world, tide brand, big brand, Apple flagship store, food exhibition, occasional welfare light show, beaver exhibition and so on. Come to Beijing to play a handful of must-go nightlife.
The following amenable breakfast snack bar from Taiwan, Taoyuan roll village, per capita income of about 20-30. It's on the side of Adidas in Taikoo Li.
This store is located on the road south to north of Sanlitun. There is good coffee and delicious cupcakes for 45-50 RMB per person.
Of course, there's also a materialistic, secluded reading spot in Sanlitun: the PageOne bookstore. Specialties: a wide range of original foreign-language books and best-selling novels. There are also pioneering bookstores like He Fang Bookstore. The same big-brand bookstore features homemade stationery and small gifts that you can take home as souvenirs. It's more upscale and sophisticated than specialty items.
The China World Trade Center-Dawanglu Business District
The China World Trade Center is closely linked to Dawanglu, which is the hub of Beijing's CBD. It is arguably the busiest area, filled with upscale shopping malls!
The nearby Wanda Cinema is a five-star theater that often holds movie premieres. Guangxin Tiandi, Guomao II, and SKP are all very high-end shopping places in Beijing, with lots of big brands and high prices. China Trade Center is the headquarters of Muji in China. In short, if you want to feel the bustle of Beijing, come here is right~

Clothes wholesale
First: Zoo Wholesale Market (subway line 2, line 4 Xizhimen get off, Xizhimenwai Street, South Road 28, opposite the Beijing Zoo. There are several wholesale markets, it is said to have moved for many years. Currently Century Tianle hasn't moved. If you want to visit, you can take the time to do so. The overall grade is not high, part of it is okay. Depends on personal aesthetics. Remember to mark up the price if you look good. 2 or 3 people are better than one. Can not be ignored. The main thing is that the quality of people selling things is not very good. If you don't buy, don't touch, don't haggle. Haha, it's easy to be looked down upon ;) In addition to the mobile batch,
Secondly, Xidan Pearl, Huawei, Xidan Underground Mall 77th Street has a lot of inexpensive things. Take your time to shop, there is always something suitable. Buy a hat, gloves, cell phone case is also good. After all, it is the memory of Beijing children when they go to school.
In fact, where you want to go shopping, the key is to see what you want to buy ~
Wangfujing is the shopping center that tourists hear the most. It is near Tiananmen Square. After seeing Chang'an Street, you can walk to eat and shop. Wangfujing is a pedestrian street with many stores, snack streets, and malls on both sides. Old brands have branches here, and the APM mall has a full range of brands. Nearby Jinbao Street also has many luxury flagship stores, the basic needs of tourists can be satisfied, in addition to the feeling that tourists have a slightly heavier taste, not much special features. That's why I said earlier that if you have enough time, I'd recommend going elsewhere.
For locals, young girls generally like to visit Joy City, either Xidan Joy City or Chaoyang Joy City. Compared to many of the newer shopping districts in Xidan, it doesn't really have a lot of character, but the good thing is that there are a lot of malls, they're all branded, and most of them are cheaper. And there is also Xidan Pearl, a place similar to a wholesale market, you can have time to shop for good goods. To the north, a new Old Master's has opened, with lots of luxury goods. So if you want to shop, there is basically no short board in Xidan shopping area now~
Want to buy luxury goods recommended Financial Street Lane Crawford, Guomao III, Guomao SKP, Taikoo Li (also known as Sanlitun, the northern part of the luxury goods is more), Qiaofu Caofang and so on. Taikoo Li and Qiaofu Fangcaodi are new malls, different from the previous "cold high foreign style". The mall itself has a sense of design, buy or not buy is worth a visit.
Sanlitun Taikoo Li and Blue Harbor Bay are recommended for shopping. These two places are open malls. If you don't want to shop, you can also see various exhibitions and eat at various popular restaurants.
