Shopping for scraves in Beijing

Hi, I'm Cathryn! As your friend in Beijing, I’ll personally take you to the best shops where we’ll see some of the most unique items in the city!
 
I was born and raised in Qingdao, Shandong province, a very beautiful seaside city that’s famous for its beer. But I'm sorry, I don't drink beer, I only like shopping!

I came to Beijing four years ago to find a different life and a change of pace. Here, I realized my biggest dream: becoming an English tour guide.
 
During my work as a tour guide, I made new friends, including many westerners. They gave me fresh ideas and showed me a new lifestyle, so I really liked hanging out with them.

But I found that in addition to the famous historical and scenic spots in Beijing, I also needed to discover another side of the city: the shopping opportunities it offers.

So I quit my job to become a personal shopper, and I dedicated my time to finding the best shops in Beijing.

I’ve spent almost two years visiting and categorizing shops across the city, and I’ve seen hundreds of marvelous items that you just can’t find in other places.

I visited shops that offer exquisite, handmade Miao silver jewelry, Tibetan handicrafts including singing bowls and prayer wheels, and even shops that mix traditional Chinese arts and crafts with new, modern designs.
