What to do and see in Beijing, China: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
Welcome to a capital city whose story goes back at least 3000 years. In Beijing, you'll find a wealth of history, both ancient (the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Summer Palace, Forbidden City) and more recent (Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Tiananmen Square). For the best market experience, choose the Dirt Market over the touristy Silk Market. A visit to the Great Wall, the longest manmade structure in the world, is absolutely essential.

We also visited Anna's sister at D-65, sounds like a cult science fiction book. If there are no letters above the shops you are in the wrong building cross the street using the walkway. We purchased three pairs for myself and my wife. Great service and very reasonable price. Payment is in cash so arrive prepared, their colleague walked with us to get cash and keep the hawkers off at the ATM. I think our branded frames are real or ridiculously good fakes.
