Synonymous with a visit to the city, the old Silk Street was
a treat of all treats for bargain-hunting tourists. Today, development
in the area has made way for biggest and brighter tings and
one of those is the new Silk Street, 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 main drag. As before, the Silk Street offers great values
on fine cashmere and silk of all types and designer labels are
available at knock down prices. The Silk Street keeps respectable
hours, so beat the rush and get there early. Nearly shopping malls offer plenty of places to rest
from our busy day activities where you can sip designer coffee
or catch a quick bite at any one of the Chinese or western restaurants
in the area.
