Stacy Bo BacyJanuary 2, 2015You can pay 5%-30% of the offered price and the sellers will still make money. Haggling is a sport! It even happens in the food court upstairs!
Christopher MulliganAugust 11, 2017This place lost much of its charm. If you want to win the lowest prices, just tell them you'll buy it on Taobao and they will cave. Fun place to bring first time tourists.- Alexander WinterJune 5, 2013Learn the art of the bargain. Only the skillful will walk away with a good deal. Be prepared for "you're joking" and "you break'eh my heart!" Fun experience!
Ailie ChangMay 13, 2016It's like finding a diamond in the rough here. There's this artist who can carve a photo you love into marble using tiny dots. If you're looking for a good deal on custom suits, go to John Tailor.
HA WahabMay 14, 2014great...be aware outside the market there are loads of pushers & addicts that are trying to sold you counterfit products or literally "rob" you...anyway this is great market & close to yonganli subway
Sarah LimMarch 17, 2015Must bargain every time. Walk to the next shop if you think the price is too high. Eg: We bargained a wallet from CNY1200 (offered price) to CNY75.You need time to shop here due to bargaining process.
Harumi UNovember 2, 2014Some of the places, you just look and walk away and people still get angry and give you parting words. I think pearls are a value but I will not walk into bag shops and places like that
SherlynJune 26, 2014Start haggling with at least 20% of the original price. If they don't agree at first, try walking away. They might give a lower price. If they don't, you can try again at the next store.
Toné MSeptember 11, 2018Large shopping mall with lots of similar items. IMO I think the Pearl Market has better selection of silk and cashmere scarves. Be prepared to negotiate. And stand hard on your price.
Best place to buy DVDs of current movies and tv series. Buy 10 and get 1 free. 10 Kwai per disc. Don't try to bargain here you are already getting a huge deal.
Quinton JonesDecember 8, 2014Some great bargains to be had here. Store assistants are very pushy will try and intimidate you with raised voices and anger. Just ignore. The lower your starting price the lower you will end.
Aprodianne AnnesMarch 4, 2014So incredibly nice place to shop. Eventhough you have to bargain a lot, it's still nice place to visit. Dont forget to bargain here!
Gaby Andriany OngsoSeptember 15, 2012When u want to buy bags, just come to Gina Susan shop at B1 1085, they have a really great service and of course you still can bargain.
- Ian RobinsonJanuary 8, 2013Try Yashow in Sanlitin Village if you want better quality than here. In silk market c30% of asking price is 'target' price - walk away otherwise- don't haggle yourself over pennies if you want it....
Andrew BC 翁 ÔNGDecember 8, 2014One of famous touristy market in Beijing. Don't bargain IF you're not intend to buy otherwise you'll get fuck off by those rude sales personnel. Prices here marked up by 50% above. 08122014 北京 秀水街
A lot of fake stuff and a lot of effort in shopping here. I usually take a long sit at the Pacific Coffee on the ground floor.
BenJuly 17, 2013They ve everything you need there but all are fake so don't need to believe them . They always start prices very expensive and try to make you buy. Bargain till the end .
Ladybug 🐞😇💭🐼December 15, 2014You will love here.Do not let anyone to screw u! U can buy ties like 20 yuen. Always Negotiate and bargain and try to leave the shop so you can have your price..do not use public restrooms.
Sabina KajtezovicNovember 30, 2011Makeup is on the same floor as pearls. You can ask for a specific brand.Don't be afraid to bargain. Don't start barganing at the 1/2 price. Think about what you're willing to pay...
Lisette NApril 7, 2015Be prepared to haggle! The market has been done up in recent years, bathrooms are so much cleaner now and there is an massive food court. market looks more like a mall now, but prices have gone up.
Andrew CerdaDecember 14, 2011Whether it's real or fake, anything you want to buy can be found here. They keep the knock-off purses hidden, and will probably offer you a "catalog" to peruse before bringing them out.
Shyam SundarAugust 7, 2018Bargainers paradise.. dont hesitate to bargain even 200% if you feel fair,, 100% should be bargained as minimum.
Luiz ClaudioJuly 21, 2015Bargain! Bargain! Start your negociation reducing the prices 80%. They enjoy a lot this kind of thing- Jyldyz SattarovaFebruary 14, 2015Bargain as bluntly as the shop keepers do. The food court on the top floor seems to need some bargaining too.
Wes MorganDecember 6, 2011Extremely aggressive salespeople. Don't be afraid to haggle; I cut their opening prices by 50% and had good results...
Sha JunaidiJuly 31, 2011The young girls are nice and friendly! Easy to bargain with cause it's almost like joking around. I had to distribute RM1's to a few girls as a souvenir frm Malaysia. :) hahah.
Niclas SkoldApril 22, 2018Not as good as it was a couple of years ago. Bargain hard. You should at least be able to get a final price that is 25% of the first offer. If you are good go even lower.
Valentine KiselyovJanuary 17, 2012Its possible to minimize the starting price for scarfs and other simple stuff for 10 times. For most other goods 3 to 5 times lower from the start.
Jeff HMay 18, 2018Go see David at Tony and Tony’s tomorrow n the 5th floor for some excellent tailor-made dress shirts.
This market is upgraded and modernized, best place ever to practice your negotiation skills
Probably one of the most tiring touristy things to do in Beijing! The shop girls are aggressive & no matter how much you bargain, they usually rip you off.It's still a relatively good bargain thou
Air New ZealandAugust 30, 2011The Silk Market at Yongdali is great and a must-see for all travelers - Lisa
Dirk HabetsMay 22, 2011Have a good breakfast cause they'lll ask you friendly to by something, then they touch you, later they scream at you in mandarine. Start to offer 10% of the first price, otherwise you buy to expansive
Dinuka EdirisooriyaNovember 5, 2013Keep bargaining till you get the price you want.. if they are failed to give act as you dont want the product and leave the place.. they will give you the product..
LaurenAugust 3, 2010The optic shops and the 4th floor are amazing. Designer frames with your prescription in a half hour. And for a fraction of what you'd pay in the US.
Brian SharwoodOctober 19, 2012Go visit Angel tailor on 3F for a good deal on suits. They made us a great tablecloth.
Ruby E.July 10, 2012A fridge magnet can go down from RMB25 to as low as RMB5. Try bargaining <RMB5, i bet they will still agree- Agasthi ThenuwaraAugust 27, 2013Lots of restaurants in 5th floor. Good food and good time. Patio pizza.
Manolo EspinosaAugust 30, 2013Check out the custom bobble head sculptor in the stairway between 1st and 2nd floor. 20 mins at 99rmb.
Cecilia EndaraJune 3, 2013Beware of the taxi drivers in the main entrance. They will try to force you to bargain when they should use the meter. Use the offcial taxi stop on the back side or walk away a few blocks.
SuGa HiApril 17, 2013Harder to bargain than Yashow but the fake stuff better quality & choice. Price can go down to 50-60% whereas at Yashow 70-90%. Do not haggle unless you really want to buy,vendors are aggressive here.
Neslihan CenkMay 22, 2013You can decide the price of goods that you want to buy. Ask discount for everything.
Hector VargasAugust 19, 2012First rule of the Silk Market: Never take the first price. Second rule of the Silk Market: Never take the first price- Sabina KajtezovicNovember 30, 2011If you're buying more than one quantity of something, bargin down and agree on price and then ask how much if u buy 4, and again bargain from there.
- Not what it used to be..., all cheap copies are gone, replaced with better quality no brand items, and less good quality logo products
PHMarch 1, 2015Don't expect to see any customer service here. Don't bargain if you don't want to buy. Else they will start cursing. Nevertheless, there are really some cheap stuffs if you don't mind imitation.
Suits: "Tailoring by Lena" at c1-018, 3F (3rd floor). I got a suit here for 650rmb, the quality is ok, don't be shy during fitting.
Monica ManuJune 20, 2011thanks to the tourists the pices are very high!!!!!! remember idiots it's china! u bargue for everything here!!!!!
