Yes, it’s packed, yes it’s terrifically annoying, but it is an essential shopping stop which you will not regret having in your neighborhood. Bargain mercilessly for anything from North Face jackets to Swatch watches to jade statuettes. The kids will go wild for the huge toy market on the third floor.

Good place for a cheap shopping thrill...make sure u bargaing at least 75%off the price that the staff offer cos all the items there are "fake" non of them are originals. Get a local chinese friend to bring u there.
Oh the hicups are that most of the shoes are not woth buying due to their poor quality but the t-shirts are woth a try out for the cheap price.
Dun forget to go the top level for some local souvenir if u are intending to get your frens some cute stuff from china

sigh... everytime i go inside this place and listen to "hey looka looka.. hey..." my blood goes up to the top of my head. the first time i was in beijing, it was fun. im pretty good at bargaining and it was so much fun to bargain with them. but now, im getting a bit sick of it. especially with those staffs who are too aggressive, not friendly and really easy to get pissed off. there are so many bad stories happened here to me and my friends.
but recently i found a way to make them 'tamer'. i have asian look and i learned chinese before so they think im chinese. if we make a negotiation in chinese, we usually end up yelling to each other. but recently, instead of talking chinese, i talk with them in english and they totally have different way to approach me! the negotiation becomes more fun, sometimes with jokes, and at the end i walk out from the store with the stuff that i want and i paid the price that i want too. :D
nevertheless, this place is still the one i visited if i wanna buy polo shirts, suitcase or fake bags. lol...

Hi,"luminouzity", I disagree with u. I have asian face too and I speak mandarian. They thought that I am a local PRC and they are more honest with me with regards to the prices...If u speak English or other foreign languages, they will take u as a tourists and will try their best to charge u more though : (

hey hey kelvin_tanimoto, yea that makes sense. but so far i think my strategy works for me. at least for me. hehe... : ) of course they give higher price for me, but since i know the usual price and i stick with it, i usually always able to get a good price.
maybe i think the benefit that i feel from speaking english while bargaining is more likely not from the price side, but they become friendlier, we make jokes and when i try to speak chinese, they were amused so it feels better when i bargain.

Yes a great place... I think I'm addicted.
The staff are aggressive and great fun, so far I've been told, "I remember you", "your crazy", "get out of my shop", "I'll kill you and I'll kill your wife", "your stupid", "you must be joking", "just little more" and "an ice cream for me", just to mention a few. The best of all is, as you walk away... "OK OK" followed by "you're too tough" as they stuff the goodies in a plastic bag.
If you can't stand the pushiness and grabbing, perhaps not the place for you, however the prices are great and the staff are just trying to make a buck. Check your goods carefully, quality can be a problem, (unsown pockets, bad zippers, buttons falling off etc).
There is a great alteration shop in the basement, near the supermarket (north? end) nice people, very fair price, fast and good work. There is also a cheap leather jacket shop, ground floor (south? end) where prices average RMB 200, however no bargaining.
Love it!
