Come to this massively popular open air market to bargain for everything from life-sized terracotta warriors, vintage photographs, pChinese style orcelain vases and figurines, calligraphy scrolls and much more. The stuff may not be genuinely antique, but makes excellent decorations for home or mementos of your time in Beijing.

Panjiayuan is a great place to get a "one-shot look" at all thats available here in the way of antiques, handicrafts, ceramics etc. These days is less of a true antique market since 90 percent of whats there is brand new. Nevertheless there are neat finds hidden in the junk and regardless even if its new, if you like it, then just buy it!

really like this place! definitely a must for those antique lovers. not really antique, thats true, they are all new stuff but made to look antique.
for those who are not an antique lovers, this market is still a nice place to visit to see all the colorful stuff that are being sold there. most of the sellers are pretty nice and friendly. even tho they still try to rip u off but hey ure in china, where bargaining skill is included in the top 5 most important skills you must have.
would really like to visit this market again soon.

A place not to miss.
Everything 'antique', pottery, lacquer ware, porcelain, paintings, clocks, statuettes, beads, jade, coins, brass-ware, books, records, fans, and on and on and on.
Almost full day out, a truly wonderful way to spend a few hours. There is even a great coffee stall for a little relief from the cold. If you do go during winter take cloves, a scarf, an extra jacket and a warm hat... or prepare to freeze.
Make sure you visit the traders on the periphery (south east corner and east side) you may find some very interesting items. Bargain like crazy. By the way gently hitting the trader on the arm and muttering "hiyaa you ah", whilst smiling and then making a downward gesture with your hand can get a laugh and perhaps a slightly cheaper price.
Even before I lived here (when I was a tourist), I found this to be one of Beijing's highlights. With its hustle and bustle this is a truly wonderful place and a feast for your senses.
