Silk Market

Beijing's Silk Street market, a bustling bazaar of broken-English bargaining and brand-name knock-offs, has been frequently brought to court by top brands for fake goods. This year, the market also confronted several infringement cases. In response, government and market management have intensified their efforts to crack down on violation cases.

This indoor market is the city's most popular with tourists, with six floors of cheap, fake goods. The basement offers the city's best selection of copied shoes, boots, bags and suitcases, but you must bargain hard.
