( Lǎo Fān Jiē Shìchǎng; Chaowaishichang Jie, 9.30am-7pm; Chaoyangmen) This somewhat cramped
market, just north of Rìtán Park, is packed with a huge variety of clothing, as well as
tonnes of accessories. You can find most things here and it's popular with visiting Russian
traders, which means the clothes come in bigger sizes than usual and the vendors will
probably greet you in Russian. Haggling is essential.
