Got great deals on inexpensive pearls from stall 88 on the 3rd floor. Bargain hard but keep it light and she'll give you a great deal and good conversation while she threads the pearls that you buy. Also was fun to look at the high end stuff on the 5th floor. Market is just off the subway and next to... more

Wow! What an experience. Touring with China Spree, we arrived a day early to experience this market. Opens at 9:15 am and offers everything. I took a peek on the top floor where the really expensive jewelry is. Then moved down to next floor and spent a lot of time and money there. Whatever I wanted, the girls would make... more

Our guide from our trip took us on a special night-time visit to the Pearl Market, and we entered through an outside elevator which took us directly to a store on the 5th floor of the pearl market. Most of us were unaware that there were lots of other floors full of stuff that we might have wished to buy.... more

I had fun bargaining with Jimmy ant jimmy shop no 206, third floor. The prices were all the same but he seemed honest about quality and was not afraid to tell me so. more

The Hongqiao market was not what I expected when I first walked in...it's like a local flea market on steroids. There are five floors completely packed with sellers, and some are a lot higher-pressure than others. The top two floors are only jewelers, so they're a lot quieter than the lower three floors.

Here you can get pearls at ridiculously cheap prices (however always check the quality). Many sellers will also tailor make pearl jewellery to your needs. I always walk away... more

It's been a while since I've been there, but when I lived in Beijing 2002-2003, I shopped at Hongqiao quite a few times. While it is called the Pearl Market because you can get some nice pearls there, I enjoyed the other items they had even more. The upper level has a number of jewelry stalls with pearls and jade... more

Just visited the Hong Qiao Market (Pearl Market) last week. It was smaller than I expected, with just two floors of vendors open. It had a good selection, though, but not vast. It is conveniently located across the street from the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven. Take the pedestrian overpass and head to the right just a bit.... more
