Off the main pedestrian street (where many western brands and food chains have shops) are a few alleys with typical souvenirs of China. It's a good spot to pick up some last minute gifts and there are a few street vendors selling snacks. Not really worthwhile to go out of your way to visit but it serves its purpose.

Wasn't really interested in shopping, but it was a nice walk to see the stores. This is a pedestrian only street. I read that the main part of the street was renovated for the Olympics, the street has nice tile floors, two trolleys going north and south, and all the store fronts look nice. There are side branches off the... More

Qianmen is a modern shopping street located south of Tian'anmen Square (just keep on walking straight south from the square, pass a gateway and you'll get there). I've been told that the street changed a lot following the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Because of the Olympics, they decided to reconstruct the whole street, replacing the old buildings with new ones... More

Visited Qianmen street. From where I am staying,it's quite a hassle to travel by the subway to qianmen. It requires me to change line twice.  Coupled with the huge number of people, it's certainly not a very pleasurable thing to do. But hey, it only costs me 2 yuan. So I can't complain very much, can I? At Qianmen station,... More

It's almost like a disney street, a film studio street or something artificial. Within walking distance of the Qianmen Subway station. This street makes a comfortable place to shop. It's pedestrianised which is much easier than the nightmare of walking across traffic streets in China. There are two trams that travel down either side of the street but they are... More
