Shopping Tips in Beijing
As the capital of China, Beijing has been a center for commerce for centuries. Beijing is undoubtedly number one place to go shopping in China.
Beijing has a lot of the unique arts and crafts like jade carvings, opera masks, handmade dough sculptures and shadow puppets. If you are fond of silk, Beijing is a truly fantastic place to go shopping silk.
During the Olympics game in Beijing, XiuShui Market is the most popular place for shopping Chinese silk. Xiushuijie Market used to be a market on the street with stalls and vendors on both sides and now it has been renovated into a big shopping mall with modern facilities.
You will find different name brand fashions, books, tea, silk products, pearls, antiques and other tourist souvenirs here. This market is so large and opens daily from 9am to 9pm. When you shop in the Xiushui Market, bargaining is neither a quarrel nor a face-losing act, but instead a friendly communication. Only one thing you just keep in mind: vendors always overcharge, allowing a wide scope for you to haggle.
If you are not in a hurry in Beijing, a visit to the other market, like the Beijing Wangfujing Walking Street, Panjiayuan Wholesale Market or Hongqiao Wholesale Market also has a great fun.
You can find silk scarf, silk nightgowns, silk quilt, and silk shirts and so on in all these markets. Knowing the way how to choose the silk will be much helpful for you to go shopping in Beijing. There are four ways to tell you how to distinguish the true silk from the artificial one:
True silk is smooth to feel, naturally shiny and bright. It drapes well, feels wonderful on the skin, and absorbs moisture. True silk feels fantastic.
True silk will be smooth and soft to the touch and it will lay across the skin in a very natural way. Fake silk will not have these properties.
True silk will emit a sound when rubbing. It is called the silk voice. If silk does not have a voice, it is man-made and not authentic silk.
Take a thread from the cloth, and light it. True silk will burn slowly, and curl. It will smell like burning hair, and will crumble into dust. Fake silk will burn quickly, smell like burning plastic, and will melt into a glob.

The Customs in Traditional Chinese weddings
Chinese traditional wedding, as with all weddings, is filled with tradition and interesting customs that have been passed down through generations and developed over the centuries.
Selecting an Auspicious Wedding Date
Before wedding day, people would like to select an auspicious day for wedding. Auspicious days are subject to interpretation by fortune tellers that perform the analysis based on one’s birth date (day and hour) after consultation with the Chinese almanac. Almanacs containing predictions for the entire year are sold at the beginning of the Lunar New Year by street vendors and in book stores. These paperback books are approximately two inches thick with a wealth of information about Chinese beliefs. It is said to be the oldest continuous publication known. Different versions are published in Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China, but unfortunately an English version is not available.
Wedding Sedan Chair
The traditional wedding usually begins with the 'jiaozi'. The chair-like sedan enclosed with red-colored silk was one of the main vehicles in the main vehicles in the ancient China. Of course, it was mainly used by the rich. The poor had to rely on donkeys or their own feet to travel, so the sedan chair was a symbol of affluence. On special occasions, such as a wedding ceremony, a sedan chair was used to take the bride to the groom's house, even for the poor.
The Wedding
In contrast to the elaborate preparations, the wedding ceremony itself was simple. The bride and groom were conducted to the family altar, where they paid homage to Heaven and Earth, the family ancestors and the Kitchen God, Tsao-Chün. Tea, generally with two lotus seeds or two red dates in the cup, was offered to the groom’s parents.
Then the bride and groom bowed to each other. This completed the marriage ceremony, except in some regions, where both also drank wine from the same goblet, ate sugar molded in the form of a rooster, and partook of the wedding dinner together.
Red Veil
At a traditional Chinese wedding, the bride is often seen with a red veil covering her head and face. The Chinese red veil is made of a square piece of silk.
People usually decorated the newly-wed house with “Double Happiness”, which consists two "xi" and graphs together represents the wish for the two young newlyweds to have happiness together.
