Landao Department Store 藍島商場

8 Chaoyangmenwai Dajie, Chaoyang 朝陽區(qū)朝陽門外大街8號

Unlike many other department stores in Beijing, Landao sells mainly Chinese brands and is a fabulous place to get a bargain. For those after something affordable and of better quality than items from the markets, this is a good option. Cosmetics, home wares, perfumes, jewellery, and clothes for the whole family are spread across its busy but pleasant floors. In the winter, this is arguably the best place to buy a warm, reasonably priced coat (head to the back of the third floor). Open daily 09:00 to 21:00. Tel: 010 8563 4422.
