Time stills in 1980s in Dafang Department Store, where saleswomen wear deep blue uniform and reckon with abacus while customs crowd before old-fashioned glasses counters for old branded cosmetics, shoes, and cloth. Dafang is the only store that exits since 1979 and everything is the same as it was 30 years ago-the décor, the goods, the cheap price and standard Beijing Hua. There are Lao Beijing people traveling from Tongzhou to Dafang for a bottle of 6 kuai skin cream. Even if you’re not buying anything, Dafang is worth a visit for a discovery of Beijing in the 1980s.
