Come here while you can, this market will soon be closing down.

Dongjiao will be closing in two months. By far the closest large sell-it-all market to the CBD, the land values became too high to justify such a grimy, rinky-dink market existing. Beijing will soon have another block of concrete and glass replacing a center of rough-and-rumble traditional life.

While most of the clothing stores have been disassembled, there are still places selling everything from pottery to kitchen goods to groceries. While groceries aren't that inexpensive, the meats can be had for less than at the big department stores. Pork is of acceptable quality, but the same can't be said for beef.

Anyways, come here while you can, if you want to see where the actual Chinese person shops.
