Panjiayuan Antique Market
潘家园旧货市场
One of China's largest antique and secondhand markets. The weekend early-morning stalls are the liveliest, with antiques, curios, folk crafts, and more to browse.
Panjiayuan Antique Market is located southwest of Panjiayuan Bridge on the East Third Ring Road. It has thousands of stalls selling antiques, paintings, jade, Buddha statues, old furniture, folk clothing, and all kinds of bead bracelets and curios. Stalls are most numerous on weekend mornings, and many Beijingers come early to shop, like a “ghost market.” Goods are a mix of genuine and fake items, and most are crafts. Bargaining is the norm, and prices can drop by more than half. Entry is free. Walk about 5 minutes from Panjiayuan Station on Subway Line 10. Plan on about 2 hours.
