silk

Address: Chaoyang District,

No. 8 Xiushui East Road (Xiu Shui Dong Jie)

A large selection of goods (many name-brand knock offs) are available Silk Street: jeans,shirts, watches, jackets, souvenirs, paintings, etc. A great place to shop for apparel. Good bargainers can buy things here for a fraction of the shop's quoted prices.

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 despite growing pressures from the management, the Chinese government, and famous brand companies. Debuted on March 19th, 2005 and replacing the old alley based Xiushui Market, the current Silk Street establishment has diversified their business scope. In addition to selling fashion apparels & accessories such as hats, handbags, shoes, belts, sportswear, silk fabrics like their predecessor, the new Silk Street have introduced traditional Chinese handicrafts, antiques, calligraphy, carpets, table cloths, bed coverings, paintings, hand-knit dresses, toys, electronic gadgets, trinkets, and fine jewelry.
