Almost every shopping guide to China points to one place - Xiushuijie, also known as the Silk Market. From fashion apparel and accessories, to antiques and fine jewelry, this place is the ultimate one-stop tourist destination in Beijing. But if what you remembers is a hundred-meter long open air bazaar teeming with vendors and visitors, you're in for a surprise. The Silk Market was transformed in 2005 to an indoor shopping mall alongside Chang'an Avenue.
