Shopping in Beijing: Gaobadian and More

Gaobadian

Looking for small pieces of antique furniture but not bothered by how old it is? Some of Beijing’s old consignment stores might have just the thing. While Gaobadian has an enormous range of copied antique furniture these consignment stores are much more central for those not wanting to travel out to Gaobadian.

Stock varies but some consignment stores may have a range of both new and second hand goods for sale. You may find things like second hand electrical household goods, old cameras, antique furniture, antique style furniture, pianos, musical instruments, watches or used bicycles.

Prices for furniture range from a couple hundred yuan to thousands of yuan. Be sure to bargain over any prices on items for sale, everything is negotiable. This writer recently purchased 2 blue and white porcelain stools with traditional Chinese designs designed and made in Jingzhejen for 180rmb after bargaining.
