Beijing Antique Buying Day Tour includes five most famous antique markets in Beijing: Liulichang Antique Street, Panjiayuan Flee Market, Beijing Curio City, Baoguosi Cultural Market and Beijing Hongqiao Market. Panjiayuan Antique Market, it's the biggest real antique and fake antique in china , and also the biggest antique marked in Beijing. It would be hard to find another city in China that is as rich in such extraordinary antique markets with primitives, jewelry, glass, crystal, porcelain, pottery, toys, dolls, folk art etc. All the prices are bargainable and not fixed. You can buy antiques tax free as long as they are exported. Our antique tour includes travel by chartered car or minibus, bilingual guide and visits to antique markets, retail shops, trade sources and wholesalers. Just a word of caution - watch for fakes and reproductions.

Itinerary:
Pick up from your hotel around 8:30am. First visit the Liulichang Antique Street. It is probably the most popular of the antique street markets for tourists in Beijing. Liulichang is a small street with some hutongs ( lanes ) lined with shops facades bearing Ming and Qing dynasty architectural features. With brightly painted doors and eaves and gracefully curved black-tiled-roofs buildings, a little of old Beijing's lifestyle is preserved here. Then drive to Panjiayuan Flee Market. This flee market is only open on Saturday and Sunday. This is a multi-sectioned covered shopping area, which has a great number of antiques, art, books and general kitsch and so on. Then move on to Beijing Curio City. Beijing Curio City is just next to Panjiayuan Flee Market, the first nationally supervised second-hand market in China, and the biggest Asian center of the curio trade. After a typical Chinese lunch with the locals in their courtyard-home, go on with the visit to Baoguosi Cultural Market. Similar to Panjiayuan Flea Market, but a latecomer, Baoguosi Cultural Market has already become a good hunting place for the trade of ancient books, ancient calligraphy and paintings, ancient coins and curios. Dongfang International Auction Co.Ltd holds auctions and exhibitions in the back hall. The monthly auction attracts any many ordinary buyers gives the market a greater impetus. Finally visit Beijing Hongqiao Market. Return to your hotel in Beijing around 6:00pm.
