Qianmen Shopping Street in Beijing China

If you have a favor with traditional Chinese productions, Qianmen Street may be the first stop on your shopping tour in Beijing. Located at south of Tiananmen Square, the Qianmen Business Street has been prosperous for more than 500 years and is home to most of Beijing's time-honored brands.
For elder Beijing residents, there are places clearly known for certain goods. For cloth, one would go to Ruifuxiang Shop; for hats, to Majuyuan Shop; for shoes, to Neilansheng Shop; for tea, to Zhangyiyuan Store; and for watches, to Hengdeli Shop. All of these shops are in Dashilan (or Dazhalan), a well-known business street with a long history in the Qianmen area.
The lately reconstructed Qianmen shows the style of old Beijing as well as the commercial atmosphere of Qing Dynasty better than before.
