Going to beijing!! Neep help here

[Kristoffer]

I'm going there next summer with my kung fu 'school'. We'll live in the center of B somewhere.. Does anyone know where to buy:

* weapons? Or anything MA related? Do u know any stores? Adresses?
* Clothes?, (cheap brand-names) and chinese clothes.. Uhm, and old traditional clothing etc.
* ~Silk~ I know that there is a silk market, what is the price on it? Can u bargain here? any tips?
* street crap? like tourist stuff that u can buy?
* Art? Like scrolls with texts on them.


Ahhh my head is exploding here.. Any help I will gladly take. What did you think of Beijing? What did u do when u where there? sooo many questions.. ~Thank yo

It's a giant market/bazaar in Beijing, near the temple of heaven. You'll find it in any good tour book. Go straight to the top floor and you'll find dozens of small store vendors who sell all kinds of antiques (and fakes) but great stuff.
