潘家园古玩市场

Good market, not too many antiquities though, but interesting to see nonetheless. I bought some cups here, new, but for a good price. There was a sheltered provisional area with real antiquities and other interesting artifacts (mammoth bones etc). On very right after entrance. Also good matcha icecream :).

This was a fun place to kill the afternoon. Lots of unique and fun vendors. Come prepared to haggle. If you are a foreigner be prepared for the vendors to quote huge prices. Everything is negotiable though. I bought something for ¥15 when the quoted price was ¥80. Still worth a visit even if you don’t want to buy anything.

Interesting place to visit for about 30 mins. Tons of jade, jewellery etc here.

This market sells mostly to locals, and almost nobody speaks English. Mostly selling amulets, rhinestones and some old junk from the mao communist era. Not much variety and nothing to eat for lunch except local buns and snacks. but conveniently located next to the train station.

Panjiayuan is a historic antique market where you can browse hundreds of stalls for stones, textiles, hand‑painted fans, ceramics, calligraphy supplies, and quirky curios. Prices vary and haggling is part of the fun. A rewarding stop for design lovers and collectors.

Great place for beautiful landscapes and other paintings by local artists (mostly selling their own paintings). I only regret not buying more of them! (worth the price without haggling :))

Great place to shop for stuff like antique and jewellery. Market run till late on weekends

Did not understand the appeal of this. Most of the stalls had the same things and nothing particularly special. I liked the Jade bracelets and thought I might pick up a few as souvenirs but each vendor was more expensive than the last - with prices higher than $1000 and didn't seem particularly interested in bargaining. I guess you could pick up some small trinkets, but honestly wish I would have skipped. It could be nice to walk around, so not to deter you from checking it out, just skippable if you are pressed for time
