Beijing 4K - Walk along the Xidan S St - China 中国北京西单南大街/长安街行走视频
Xidan is a major traditional commercial area in Beijing, China. It is located in the Xicheng District.
The Xidan commercial district incorporates the Xidan Culture Square, North Xidan Street, as well as many supermarkets and department stores. The Xidan Cultural Square is the largest venue for cultural events in downtown Beijing.
Xidan began to develop in the Ming Dynasty as an area alongside the passage for traders from Southwestern China to enter Beijing.
Restaurants and shops were eventually built for these merchants. Eventually, as the Western part of the city became the residential area for officials, Xidan became a commercial area. The location of several government agencies when Beijing was under the administration of the Republic of China also helped Xidan's economic growth.
The area began to experience massive growth in the 1950s, as the population of Beijing began to move westwards. By the 1970s, Xidan, along with Qianmen and Wangfujing, became the three major commercial areas in Beijing.
Currently, the area is known throughout Beijing as a shopping area. Many malls and department stores have stores within the area, the oldest of which is the China branch of the Taiwanese department store Chungyo.
Xidan is also home to Lingjing Alley, which, at 32m (34 yards), is considered to be the broadest hutong in Beijing.

This is a shopping belt one subway stop away from the Forbidden City in Beijing. I saw one of the longest escalators ever, in one of the malls.
Beijing Wangfujing Street Shopping District Department Store
Beijing Wangfujing street shopping district department store is one of the most well known shopping streets of Beijing, China, located in Dongcheng District. The majority of the main area is pedestrianised and very popular shopping area for both tourists and local residents.
Wangfujing is now regarded as the central heart of Beijing City. It is the first modern style commercial street in Beijing, approximately 800 meters long with many departmen stores and shopping malls on two sides of the street. A walk from end to end would take you about 30 mins, and that's without looking at any shops and malls.
The Wangfujing shopping district aspires to attain equal ranking with New York's Fifth Avenue, the Champs-Elysees of Paris and the Ginza in Tokyo. The stores on the street sell clothes, tea, shoes, souvenirs, books, hats, etc.
There are three large markets on this street: Sun Dong An Plaza, Beijing Department Store and The Malls at Oriental Plaza. The Malls at Oriental Plaza is known as one of the largest markets in Asia. There are also a whole bunch of Chinese and Western fast food restaurants.
The Beijing Wangfujing street shopping district department store carries many foreign brands such as Calvin Klein, Nina Ricce, Gucci, Prada, Lanvin etc. including cosmetic brands such as Christian Dior, Elizabeth Arden and Guerlain and boutiques like Mondi, Yves Saint Laurent, Nina Ricci, D'urban and Charles Jourdan. There are also ladies department, lingerie, accessories and leather bags.
There are also two book stores, namely Wangfujing Bookstore with some western literature on the third floor and Foreign Languages Bookstore with a wider selection of western books. Toys and other children's stuff are available at Xin Zhong Guo Kid's Stuff or the Children's Goods Store.
A side street, west of Wangfujing, is called Wangfujing XiaoChiJie (Wangfujing Snack Street). Besides snacks, various sorts of souvenirs are available here.
Watch Beijing Delicacies in Wangfujing Snack Street:
The street should be regarded more as a tourist attraction as Wangfujing is not the place to make a bargain. The prices are relatively higher comparing to other area in the city, but on the other hand the quality is generally good.

Beijing Dashilan or Dashilar Street / 大栅栏 / 大柵欄
Beijing Dashilan or Dashilar Street / 大栅栏 / 大柵欄 is a famous business street outside Qianmen in Beijing, China. Now the term Dashilanr is also used to refer to the area comprising, besides Dashilanr itself, also the Langfang Toutiao Lane, Liangshidian Street and Meishi Street.
In 1488, in order to secure the public safety of the capital, the central government built wooden fences at all the entrances to the streets and lanes in Beijing. The fence was accomplished with contributions from the local residents, and the total number of the fences was more than 1,700 by the end of the Qing dynasty. Among them, the Langfang Sitiao street’s fence was funded by the merchants. For this reason, the fence was extremely large and thus got the name Dashilanr. With the passage of time, Dashilanr gradually became the formal name of the street replacing Langfang Sitiao.
For centuries, the traditional commercial street Dashilanr has held quite a few Lao zihaos which are well-known both at China and abroad. The Lao zihaos, such as Tongrentang (Chinese: 同仁堂; pinyin: Tóngréntáng) Chinese herbal medicine store, Rui Fu Xiang (Chinese: 瑞蚨祥; pinyin: ruìfúxiáng) silk store, Ma Ju Yuan (Chinese: 马聚元; pinyin: Mǎjùyuán) hat store, Nei Lian Sheng (Chinese: 内联升; pinyin: Neìliánshéng) shoe store, Zhang Yi Yuan (Chinese: 张一元; pinyin: Zhāngyīyuán) tea shop, and Liu Bi Ju (Chinese: 六必居; pinyin: Liùbìjū) pickle shop, as well as Yi Pin Zhai (Chinese: 一品斋; pinyin: Yīpǐnzhāi), Bu Ying Zhai (Chinese: 步瀛斋; pinyin: Bùyíngzhāi), Ju Shun He (Chinese: 聚顺和; pinyin: Jùshùnhé), Chang Sheng Kui (Chinese: 长盛魁; pinyin: Chángshèngkuí), are over 100 years old.
There once was a saying in Beijing, Wear the hats of Ma Ju Yuan, stand in the shoes of Nei Lian Sheng, wear the clothes of Ba Da Xiang, and take the money of Si Da Heng Banks. Ma Ju Yuan, Nei Lian Sheng, Ba Da Xiang (Chinese: 八大祥; pinyin: Bādàxiáng) and Si Da Heng (Chinese: 四大恒; pinyin: Sìdàhéng) are all stores located in Dashilanr that are taken as the symbols of wealth.
Dashilanr was also the former entertainment center of Beijing apart from the commercial center. There were five grand Chinese opera theaters in Dashilanr – Qingle Yuan (Chinese: 庆乐园; pinyin: Qìnglèyuán), Sanqing Yuan (Chinese: 三庆园; pinyin: Sānqìngyuán), Guangde Lou (Chinese: 广德楼; pinyin: Guǎngdélóu), Guanghe Yuan (Chinese: 广和园; pinyin: Guǎnghéyuán), Tongle Yuan (Chinese: 同乐园; pinyin: Tónglèyuán); the first movie theater in Beijing, Daguan Lou (Chinese: 大观楼; pinyin: Dàguānlóu), also situated there.

Wangfujing (王府井) in Beijing reminds me of Xintiandi in Shanghai: a place for tourists to shop for high value goods, while at the same time experiencing a little of Chinese culture. I have also visited shopping districts such as Myeongdong in Seoul and Ximending in Taipei, and Wangfujing really is on par with them. Recorded February 22, 2013.

Chinese Shopping Mall 101: Xidan District, Beijing
In Beijing, one of the most famous shopping districts is called Xidan. Xidan is host to large indoor malls that have eight to nine (sometimes more and sometimes less) vertical levels stacked one on top of each other and filled with various little boutiques featuring an assortment of clothing styles. These boutiques, each about the size of a one-bedroom, are squished between one another on a single floor and often managed by one to two people who are in charge of haggling with customers.
Haggling, or the art of buying and selling through persuasive techniques, was one of the first things I learned about when I was in China. In the United States, when you walk into a department store and pick something out, you have to pay the price on the tag. There is no exception, and not many people give it much thought; there is a clear acceptance of the market price.
In China, however, it's a whole 'nother story. In shopping malls like these, one is able to negotiate with the seller to lower the price. Because there are so many boutiques selling similar items, there is a great deal of competition among all of the sellers for a buyer's attention (and ultimately, money). So, if a buyer wants to purchase something from a seller, they can take advantage of the competitive atmosphere between the sellers and haggle the price down. Proper step-by-step haggling techniques include the following:
1. Ask for the price on an item that you see but feign interest in (the most interested you are in the item, the more leverage the seller has in keeping up the price)
2. Initially, nonchalantly ask for a lower price, like 50% less than what the seller has told you (so if the seller asks for 100 yuan, the equivalent to USD $16, for an item, you can say, I'll give you 50 yuan, or $8, for it.
[[Fun fact: in the marketplace of buying and selling yuan and kuai mean the same thing, but many sellers use the term kuai instead of the proper term for the currency which is yuan. Sometimes you will also hear the term quian, which is the Mandarin term for money.]]
3. The seller will look at you with utter disapproval and perhaps even slight disgust (it's all a game of facial expressions and wit, I tell you!) and probably say something along the lines of No way, Jose, and then stick with the original, inflated price.
[[Fun fact: One thing also important to keep in mind is that if you are a foreigner in China, most sellers will increase the price of a good 2-3 times its initial rate because they think you have more money than the average Chinese customer. Because of this stereotype, foreign folks should be more willing to haggle down the price to get their monies worth. If you feel uncomfortable haggling, bring along a friend who is well trained in it, and it'll make things a lot easier. I speak from experience.]]
4. If the price the seller gives you a second time isn't something that you want to pay (or is a price that, in your opinion, isn't equivalent to the actual value of the good), shake your head and walk away from the item and the booth itself.
**This walk-away/ I'm-not-interested-anymore technique works on many occasions; the seller than yells a lower price at your back as you walk away, or chases after you to ask for another round of negotiation. At this point, you can either re-engage with the seller in the haggle dance, or move on and continue your shopping spree at another boutique.
At the end of the day, you have a choice in what price you pay for the good you're interested in. Mastering the art of haggling will help you pay less for more stuff and get your money's worth in Chinese markets.
As for me, I could never properly haggle due to my poor Chinese language skills and my inability to play the game or dance the dance. Thankfully, I was behind the camera the entire time, so I could merely observe instead of engage. It was a lot easier this way.
