Guanyuan Flower Bird Fish and Insect Market

Beijingers have a long tradition of raising strange pets and this market is ground zero. Here you'll find insects, birds, snakes, lizards, spiders, fish, turtle and ducks--not for the eating. The market's not easy to find, but once you do, you'll see how locals teach their birds how to talk and find out why old Beijingers like to keep crickets in their pockets.
