Shopping in China is very convenient. Western retail companies have established outlets in major cities in China that carry both domestic and imported goods. You will be able to find many of your favorite brands here.

Opportunities to shop for souvenirs and local goods are abundant and can be found in every city. Xiushui Street and Panjiayuan Antique Market in Beijing are great places for tourists to look for souvenirs. Unlike department stores where the prices are fixed, at this kind of market you must bargain to get the best price. Your local tour guides or hosts can be a big help to you in finding the best stuff and bringing the prices down.
