HOW TO get to the Beijing Zoo Market. Watch out for these things!
HOW TO Find the Beijing Zoo Market
The Beijing Zoo market (Běi Jīng Dòng Wù Yuán Fú Zhuāng Shì Chǎng / 北京动物园服装市场) is similar to its siblings Yashow Market and Silk Market, but here the Chinese people really outnumber the foreigners. Anytime this happens, you can bet that you’re going to get good value for your money.
Getting here is ridiculously easy, just go to <b>Beijing Zoo station</b> on subway Line 4. Take Exit D, the southwest exit.
The Beijing Zoo market is definitely a bit more chaotic than its brothers. It’s a multi-story no-name-store shopping behemoth much like the Silk Market and Yashow. I think less customer gouging goes on here. Make sure you still bargain though.
If you’re looking for (female) Korean fashions, there’s a “Korea City” (Hán Guó Chéng / 韩国城) inside the market. There are a few shops in there that sell Korean cosmetics and those Korean cartoon socks — if you’ve lived in Seoul, you know what I’m talking about.
