The third BEST-KNOWN tourist destination in Beijing

Back


Described by China Daily news agency as "the third best-known tourist destination in Beijing after the Palace Museum and the Great Wall," Silk Street attracts approximately 20,000 visitors daily (from 9am to 9pm) on weekdays and between 50,000 to 60,000 on weekends as of 2006. This 35,000 square meter complex houses 1,700 retail vendors and over 3,000 salespeople spread over seven floors with three levels of basements. Many of the stalls have over the years gained local and internationally reputation for selling counterfeit luxury designer brands at relatively low prices. Some have carried on this trademark despite growing pressures from the management, the Chinese government, and famous name brand companies.
