The largest pearl store near the Temple of Heaven
Close to the Temple of Heaven lies a well-known pearl market. Every day it attracts many visitors from home and abroad. Recently I visited it on my way back to the Beijing GuoHong Hotel and was impressed with the Fanghua Pearl and Jewel store. If you want to find a beautiful pearl necklace, don't miss this shop.
When I entered the shop, I found myself surrounded by a sea of pearls.The colors mainly included milk white, golden yellow, pink, and black.
As the No.1 retailer of high-quality peals in Beijing, Fanghua has been in the business for twenty years. According to the shop manager, the main categories of pearls here are fresh water pearls, sea water pearls, and South Sea pearls.
Many people fear buying fake pearls. But Ms. Carries explained to me how to distinguish real pearls from fake ones. There's a rule for distinguishing fine pearls: the rounder and shinier, the better.
I also noticed the photos on the wall showing foreign dignitaries who had visited the shop, including Putin's wife, Margaret Thatcher, the Queen of Spain, and the Queen of Belgium. This is really an authentic pearl shop in Beijing!
An antique shop worth your visit
Near the Days Hotel & Suites Beijing, there is a shopping center named Chengtian Antique City. I found a shop that carried antiques, jade jewelry and other art.
Many antique porcelain wares were displayed in the shop: vases, bowls, and plates, just to name a few. Some of them were even made as early as the Qing dynasty.
Mr. Tang showed me a porcelain statue, Empress Dowager Cixi (1835 - 1908), a female ruler of the Qing dynasty. She sat on a stone bench with a big dog. She was wearing a big black hat and a button-down robe of yellow, red, and blue. Peonies and butterflies were embroidered on the robe. In China, the peony represents wealth and status.
Their jade items are also very popular, including the pendants and bracelets. They were white and looked glossy. Such items symbolize virtue in Chinese.
I also found Chinese paintings, calligraphy work, and wood carvings. They are all traditional Chinese art forms. This is a must-see shop right near your hotel in Beijing.
