Panjiayuan Antique Market 潘家园

Beijing Panjiayuan Antique Market is an interesting place to visit. The market is huge. Thousands of stalls and stores selling bronze, china, fossil, amber etc. Most of the products are too fake even for my untrained eyes. The products with good quality are very expensive, asking for thousands dollars. The market closes very early. If you plan to visit there, better to be there in the morning or early afternoon.

北京潘家园旧货市场在东三环，占地很大，是个有趣的去处。有商店，有摊位，售卖各种假货古董，有青铜、瓷器、化石、蜜蜡、字画、石雕等等不一而足。其中大部分古董都假的离谱，价格也不贵。想挑个高仿的古董也不是很容易。真假古董我不懂，做工是否精致我还是看得出。少数入眼货色都是天价，一开口就要几万块。所以我逛了一两个小时只买了个假青铜。太阳高高的，市场的大喇叭就广播闭市，大家纷纷收摊走人。如果想去玩，不要去太晚。
