Known forfabriccraftstraditionalOld City
Running through the heart of the Old City near the Yu Garden area, this street and its surrounding lanes host vendors selling traditional Chinese fabrics, embroidery, buttons, craft supplies, and folk art items. It is a working market used by tailors, designers, and craft enthusiasts rather than a tourist trap. You can find extraordinary silk brocade, linen, and cotton at reasonable prices if you know what you are looking for. The surrounding alleys reward slow exploration.
