johnmck Posted April 26, 2007 at 12:40 PM Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 at 12:40 PM Hi, I will be coming to Beijing for 4 days in May (12th - 15th) for work. Saturday, Monday and Tuesday are pretty much booked-up which leaves me free on Sunday for shopping (and sight-seeing). I would like to go to the Wangfujing Bookstore to buy some Chinese books and to also go to the pearl market. Will they be open on a Sunday or am I going to have to try to rearrange my Saturday? Also it has been a long time since I have been to Beijing and I have forgotten the address of the pearl market, does anyone know where I can find it in Beijing? Thanks, John.

cdn_in_bj Posted April 26, 2007 at 01:54 PM Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 at 01:54 PM Hi John, I guess you are referring to Hongqiao Market (红桥市场). It's on Chongwenmenwai Dajie, across the street from Tian Tan (Temple of Heaven Park). And yes they're open on Sundays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
