He Hua Chi Wholesale Market

On the south side of the North Railway Station you'll find the vast He Hua Chi wholesale market. The market is so big that even cab drivers aren't really sure where to drop you off. The bulk of the stores are on the east side of Renmin Beilu. A few buildings are full of clothing and shoe shops and a number of winding covered markets offer every kind of clothing, houseware, home furnishing, and traditional Chinese souvenir imaginable. Just keep wandering and shopping until you can't take another minute of old-fashioned Chinese bargaining, known as "jiang jia".
