Located on Changan Avenue in Sanlitun district, Xiushui Jie, as it is better known, is a mecca for foreign shoppers hunting for almost-branded watches and clothes. The market was recently moved into a shiny new shopping mall but don’t let the surroundings fool you. Insist on nothing less than a 50% discount on all goods. Can be quite stressful but if it's authentic Chinese chaos and hard sell techniques you want to see out of curiosity, then go for it.
