very disappointing. After three weeks in Beijing I knew what I wanted to buy, where I'd seen it and its marked price. I held off buying anything with the silly idea I might get it cheaper here. Big mistake. When it came to bargaining time, not at any stall, for any item, was my offer of the price I'd seen it... More

Do not hesitate to lower the price. The seller always tell the super high price to u becoz they think foreigners r rice. For example, my friend wanted to buy the belt. They told the price as 150 RMB at first, after the bargaining we bought it at 30RMB. If they dont want to lower the price, just walk away... More

Do your research before coming to Yashow. Do not feel embarrassed to quote a very low price as the sellers will always start with a sky high price. If your price is too low and below their cost price, they will not sell it to you. If they accept your price, it means they are still earning a profit! Knitted... More

This is a fun place to shop - LOTS of items of all sorts - all knock-offs, of course. Almost overwhelming w/ little booths for each vendor. The sales people speak enough English to communicate w/ you well. They are PUSHY!! Don't let that deter you. I just said, "Bo yao" a lot - meaning "I don't want it" &... More

As usual in bargaining market, the initial price quoted is exorbitant. I think it's a good idea if we all list what we bought and the price we paid for, so we can have "guidance" to bargain, or learn from others if we made mistake in bargaining. I/my friends bought: - Gstar raw wool coat RMB250 - Samsonite luggage RMB... More

Spent a whirlwind 3 hrs just before my flight in this great market! Shopkeepers friendly and pleasant when bargaining, unlike the aggressive ones at the other markets. I am a rather ruthless bargainer and found that I got my target prices (generally 2/3 less than the asking price) most times. Good tange of clothes -brand name and not -esp great... More

This must be the best decision we made when we had a spare day during our stay in Beijing. We asked our Great Wall driver what would be a good place to go and he suggested YaShow Markets. We caught a taxi from our hotel and gave him the address. We only wanted to see if we could find some... More

As a Malaysian, we are very use to bargain when we shop and guess what, you will enjoy your bargaining skill here. Me and my family enjoy shopping here, they have everything that you can ever named. Do not be intimidate by their high pitch or mandarin speaking, all you need is a calculator and you are set to go.... More
