Panjiayuan's ghost market has a long history. It used to be called night market, or dawn market. In the late Qing dynasty, many rich and powerful people declined, and unscrupulous descendants secretly took out their antiques and sold them at a loss. In order to maintain what little face they have left, they choose to trade lanterns before dawn at three or four in the morning. It is not easy to be recognized at night, so as not to be seen and heard, and suddenly it looks like a ghost, so it is called a ghost market.
Nowadays, the ghost market in Panjiayuan has become a gathering place for nightlife in Beijing. There are many lovers of literature and collectors of old things, and there are countless booths, covering antique Wan Wen, calligraphy and painting fans, porcelain and jade articles, electronic products, beauty clothes and hats, cartoons, retro records, perfume jewelry, toy blind boxes, and many old toys full of childhood memories.
