One of the most visited MARKETS and also as attractions in Beijing for tourists both from different parts of China and from other countries.  It is open from 8:30AM to 4:30pm during weekdays and from 4:30am to 4:30pm during weekends.

How to get there?

PAGJIAYUAN MARKET is located at CHAOYANG DISTRICT, SOUTHEAST portion of the CENTRAL BEIJING near East, 3rd Ring Road South.

SUBWAY is the fastest way of reaching PAGJIAYUAN FLEA MARKET. Alight at PAGJIAYUAN SUBWAY STATION LINE 10 and look for the PAGJIAYUAN BRIDGE as the landmark. Beside the bridge is the FLEA MARKET.

BUS is also a good option to reach PAGJIAYUAN FLEA MARKET. Take the BUS with numbers 36, 51, 802, 674, 28, 368, 99 .

In order to enjoy your visit and make sure that you buy authentic and high quality products, you can request your Chinese friends to accompany you or if not ask for some tips about the items that you are interested to buy and how much are the standard or reasonable prices. 

It is also advisable to bring magnifying glass to look at the items closely.

During my visit, I inquired for the same item from different sellers and they gave me different prices. It is a must that you should canvass first and look closely at the quality of the items before buying. It is very big market so there are plenty of same items from different sellers for you choose from. You should have adequate time to be able to devote considerable period to canvass and choose carefully.

If you have vacant time, come during weekdays and ordinary days because the market is very crowded during weekends and holidays.


ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY AND SHOPPING!
