Depart from your hotel to be transferred to
the Silk Street. On the eastern side of the
Embassy of the United States, you will find
a couple of narrow lanes jammed with human traffic.
That is the Silk Market, which is also known
as “Silk Alley” or “OK Street,”
but it has much more than just silk to offer.
Shops along the narrow lanes are filled with
silk products and other export-quality clothing
at low, low prices. Cashmere garments, down
jackets, leather goods, shoes, hats, watches
and some handicrafts and trinkets can be found
here. Enjoy your shopping there.
Then be transferred to the Liulichang Antique
Street. It is a small street lined with shops
facades bearing Ming and Qing dynasty architectural
features. With brightly painted doors and eaves
and gracefully curved black-tiled-roofs buildings,
a little of old Beijing’s lifestyle is
retained here. It is famours for its ancient
books, calligraphy, paintings, rubbings, ink
stones and ink.
Along the street, peddlers hawk snacks, groceries,
toys and copper coins, all kind of small commodities.
Some offer free seal-carving services and they
even can find a perfect Chinese name for you
if you like. Some shop owners invite folk artists
to their shops such as an 80-year-old heir to
the Qing Dynasty royal embroidery tradition.
It is amazing to watch this elderly man embroider
a pair of little shoes for a pair of tiny feet.
