Shopping
China is known for its pearls and fake clothes. Here are some places you can go shopping but make sure to bargain ;)

Metro stop: Tiantandongment (line 5), Exit: A
Besides large selection of pearls the market also sells anything from bags, clothes, shoes to electronics etc.

Metro stop: Yonganli (line 1), Exit: B (in the same building with metro)Sells everything from clothes, shoes to souvenirs etc.
Yashow market
See more HERE.
Metro stop: Tuanjiehu (line 10), Exit: A (15minutes from the metro station, next to the Sanlitun Village)
Mainly sells clothes, but also has many tailor shops where you can have your clothes made. We have been using Wendy Tailorshop (III floor). Make sure you bargain with the price;)
Zhongguancun Electronics Market
See more HERE.
Metro stop: Zhongguancun (line 4), Exit: Many stalls full of original and fake electronics, although the prices are quite high and I would not suggest anything which would require a warranty.
Art District 798
See more HERE.
Besides checking out their awesome galleries the Art District 798 is also a good place to shop.
My favorite store: leather bag store, UCCA Design store
How to get there: Take bus no 401 from Dongzhimen bus terminal or next to Sanyuanqiao metro station. Get off at: Da shan zu lu kou stop. Cross the street over the pedestrian bridge and look for read sign 798. Many of the galleries close quite early – around 18.00 and are also closed on Mondays.
