    There are a million ways to shop in Beijing. Every tour has a mandatory stop at some shop/factory. Every site you visit has a million hucksters dying to sell you postcards, books, jewelry, watches, etc.

    What To Buy: I bought Cloisonne Christmas ornaments and bracelets, some pearl bracelets, post cards, site books, tea, jade ice pillows, and t-shirts.

    What To Pay: No matter how much you pay, you will always find the same item more/less expensive somewhere else. Just decide how much you are willing to pay and be happy with that.

     Hi Barbara. Nice page of Beijing. Happy Birthday to you. Have a great day. Happy Travels    		aussiedoug Sun Aug 15, 2004 13:03 UTC
     Ni Hao Barbara! Some very helpful & accurate tips here. So true what you said in your shopping tip. Recently had a week in Beijing & enjoyed many of the same things as you. I really enjoyed some of the amusing signs too.
