Liulichang, a bustling antique street

Old and new, real and fake, moral and immoral, it was all to be found on Liulichang Street, it is really a visitor's treat.
Located in Xuanwu District in the southwestern Beijin, Liulichang, the
750-meter-long street, still bears the appearance of a Qing Dynasty market street.
A business hub
In the 1980s, the street was renovated and various specialized shops were
rebuilt. With brightly painted doors and eaves and gracefully curved
black-tile-roofs buildings, a little of old Beijing 's lifestyle retained here.
The China Bookstore, Rongbaozhai, and Jiguge are the most famous antique
stores in Liulichang. The China Bookstore located at the back of a courtyard of
the first complex on the north, sells second-hand foreign language books.
