Description

Step away from Beijing’s tourist landmarks and dive into the vibrant, chaotic charm of Panjiayuan Antique Market—China’s largest and most eclectic flea market. This 4-hour guided walking tour brings you face-to-face with over 3,000 stalls selling antiques, folk crafts, calligraphy, jade, and vintage memorabilia. Your expert guide will help you navigate the maze, spot genuine treasures, and master the art of haggling. Whether buying or browsing, this cultural shopping experience is perfect for anyone seeking authentic Beijing flavor and hidden gems. Discover a 4.85-hectare antique wonderland with over 3,000 unique vendors. Explore Beijing’s most famous secondhand market where locals, collectors, and even diplomats (like Hillary Clinton!) hunt for bargains. Learn to identify authentic Chinese antiques, folk artifacts, calligraphy, ceramics, vintage jewelry, and rare memorabilia. Get hands-on tips for negotiating prices with friendly stall owners. If time permits, make optional stops at the Book Market Zone for rare manuscripts and Mao-era posters, the Jade & Jewelry Aisle for gemstones and bracelets, or the Furniture & Stone Carving Area for traditional Ming & Qing-style chairs, mini statues, and incense burners.
