Top 10 Flea & Street Markets in Beijing, China
Welcome to a capital city whose story goes back at least 3000 years. In Beijing, you'll find a wealth of history, both ancient (the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Summer Palace, Forbidden City) and more recent (Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Tiananmen Square). For the best market experience, choose the Dirt Market over the touristy Silk Market. A visit to the Great Wall, the longest manmade structure in the world, is absolutely essential.

Yes, Most if not all of the name brand items are fake. Learn to bargain but don't be rude about it. The people working there are individuals trying to make a living. Keep that in mind. However, do not pay the initial price they throw out. You will get ripped off. Go early in the day, right when the market opens. The people there will be more willing to bargain in attempts to get the first sales of the day which are seen as lucky. I bought a silk scarf for 50元 although the initial price was 650元. Don't be rude but stand your ground they will as for the top price you are willing to go for. Realistically, don't do that or you will get ripped off. Actually, give your lower price and carefully work up but only by very small increments. If they see your flexibility you will get ripped off. Over all have fun and don't be afraid to bargain. Bargaining is expected!

The place was busy on an early Saturday morning in December, temps just below 0 C. Lots of vendors, especially ones who specialize in beads of all colors and shapes (many are stone based, some are ceramic). Easy to get to on Subway line 10; get off, head west. Look for the red lanterns.
