Panjiayuan Antique Market
This massive #market is best known for its #antiques and #curios, but you can find a mesmerizing array of Chinese mementos here. Unique items to take home are precious stones and #jewelry (there is a dizzying amount here), #paintings, ethnic minority textiles and jewelry, #jade carvings, #teapots, and #pottery. There’s also distinct sections for antiques (both real and fake, who knows?), #vintage #books, stone sculptures, beads and stones, and #handicrafts. Get ready to barter hard—foreigners will get the short end of the stick here, so cut the asking price by at least a half. If you know your way around, you can snag some ridiculously good deals. #cloisonné #gifts #souvenirs
