Beijing Dong Wu Silk Museum: "Silk shop for hypoallergenic" Beijing Shopping Tip by Penelope4

Beijing Shopping: 288 reviews and 316 photos

I booked a tour to the Badaling Wall and did not realize that a visit to a silk shop and a jade shop were included.

Beijing Dong Wu Silk Museum is a government-owned silk shop. At first an employee explained to us everything we should know about silk production and then we were presented blankets and pillows made of silk, then we went to another floor where employees tried to sell us silk clothes for men and women, neckties, bags, slippers, undies. Quality of the goods is very high and so were the prices.

What to buy: A good buy in this shop, I consider, is anything you need for your bed - if you are allergic to dust. etc. You won't be able to find blanket and pillow made of 100% silk everywhere.

Address: Address is written in Chinese - I can't read it.
Directions: In Beijing. Travel Agents or hotels should know where it is.
