Phone: 010-6500-3311
Transportation: Subway Line 1 or 2 at Jiangguomen (exit B)
Opening Hours: 9am-8:30pm daily
Once upon a time this was officially the only store where locals and foreigners alike could purchase imported
goodies. You even needed "foreign exchange currency" to obtain the viciously overpriced merchandise. Now
it's the last place you'd want to shop: it's overpriced and has notoriously unhelpful staff. You can bargain for
their overpriced wares, but it's really not worth your while. Visit instead for a glimpse of how shopping in Beijing
was in the good old bad old days. Starbucks, Baskin-Robbins,Delifrance and Pizza Hut are appended.
