The melange of hip Japanese stores and European stores (Sogo is a Japanese company) make for a great layout. The reasonably price food court on the sixth floor makes a trip around here far more fun than you would expect from a shopping center Add in the espresso bars on each floor, and you’ve got a winner.

The Japanese have found the perfect shopping recipe: take a funky selection of Japanese and European boutiques, mix in an excellent food court with uncommonly good sushi and sprinkle an espresso bar on each floor. This is really one of best places to spend the weekend either for a movie or for leisure shopping. For designer goods and high-end products in Xicheng District, the Junefield Sogo Department Store carries several famous brands including Thomas Pink, Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood. Enjoy a break in between shopping at the indulgent food court or peruse the aisles of imported treats from the high-end supermarket, Freshmart. There is also an entertainment arcade for children on the sixth floor called SEGA World.

Private Beijing Antique Shopping Tour with Lunch

Start your private tour with pickup from your central Beijing hotel, and meet your private guide. 
 
Hop inside your private, climate-controlled vehicle and travel to your first stop: Liulichang Antique Street. Situated in old Beijing, this history-steeped street is lined with stone shop-houses selling antique books, handicrafts, paintings, rubbings, glazed pottery, and other treasures. 
 
Hear about Liulichang’s history, and get advice from your guide as to the best shopping opportunities. Sift through the traditional shops and stands, and explore the side lanes (hutongs), where the shops still bear original Ming and Qing architectural features like ornately carved doors and upswept roofs. 
 
Next, drive to Panjiayuan Market, a so-called ‘weekend market’ that’s open daily. Weave through the throng of stands, perusing the huge array of antiques, curios, ceramics, Tibetan rugs, calligraphy, and other finds. 
 
After shopping here, refuel with lunch at a Chinese restaurant, and continue to Baoguosi Cultural Market, set around an old temple. Scour the courtyards of vendors hawking stamps, books, coins and jade, and get tips on scouting out and clinching the best deals from your guide. 
 
If time allows, squeeze in a visit to Hongqiao Market, a mall known for its pearl traders, and electronics, art, clothes, and accessories shops. Trawl for bargains, and haggle over pearls and other precious gems as perfect keepsakes of your time in Beijing. 
 
After seven hours, your tour concludes with a hotel drop-off.
