Visit the Silk Market

Visit the Silk Market on an educational shopping tour in Beijing and experience the local culture. The program aims to make students aware of the cultural and historic significance of the city. They will also have the opportunity to participate in Chinese games, martial arts, painting and cooking. In addition, students will take part in a virtual visit to Beijing Zoo and Forbidden City. This will help them develop skills such as language, basic tasks and functions, and cultural awareness.

Visitors should be wary of traders who use aggressive language when bargaining. Many shops in the market warn shoppers against haggling. However, if you have the patience, you may get a good deal. Shops in the market offer a wide range of items including silk clothing, handicrafts, electronic gadgets, and souvenirs. You can even find branded apparel, wristwatches, sunglasses, and drapes.

During the trip, you will also have the chance to engage in various activities such as painting, Chinese games, cooking, and paper cutting/crafts. There will also be evening study sessions.

Shop for souvenirs

The first week after the Lunar New Year holiday has passed, many of Beijing's souvenir shops have reopened. While the prices are still high, the selection of items is much larger than at the airport boutiques. Many people choose to buy souvenirs during their travels, and Chinese love to spend money. Sourcing souvenirs from the city will help you support local economy. If you are in the mood to get a bottle of brandy, or a glass of mavrodaphne (sweet wine), Cellier liquor store in Syntagma is a good place to start.

Food is another key element in a tourist's experience. Purchasing food souvenirs helps promote destination image, and supports quality of local foods. Purchasing items that have a national park, or other local theme, also supports the image of the destination. In addition, buying a bottle of raki, a drink made of fermented grapes, or a bottle of mastiha, a flavored aperitif, can evoke memories of Greece.
