Beijing Things to Do

Shopping in Beijing is a vibrant affair, but notoriously tricky from a practical point of view.

The second largest mall in all of Asia, at the Golden Resources Mall you can buy almost anything from cars to tables to diapers. As a consumer mall, it has less of the cultural allure of some of Asia’s more primitive bargaining malls, but none-the-less, covering more than 6 million square feet (557,000 sq m), more than a 1,000 stores and with more than 200 escalators taking customers up and down and all around, this place exemplifies China’s fast-paced and hugely populated culture.
