Golden Five Stars Market

2012-10-17

This large wholesale market sells everything you need, including clothing, home ware, sports goods, school and art supplies and groceries. Like other local markets, bargaining is necessary to get a reasonable price.

The neighborhood in which the market is located is called Haidian and is great for an inexpensive starter kitchen, a stocking crockery, glassware, utensils, cookware and many more.

In the adjacent marketplace, you’ll find a food hall with butchers, fish and veg galore, as well as noodle makers and pickle sellers, plus a tofu maker with a comprehensive selection.selection. Outside the food market are shops selling chopping blocks, traditional cast-iron woks and even ceramic crocks.

This vast market sells every imaginable made-in-China good. Separated out by topic, the vendor stands start with shoes and jewelry, fade through clothes, blankets, electronics, pottery and sporting goods and end with school and art supplies at the rear. This market is a cheap, one-stop-spot for souvenir shopping or an Ikea-alternative for customizing a pre-furnished apartment. Bargaining is necessary.

Customers’ actual reviews:

Have you ever wonder where locals go to get linen? Kitchen Sinks? or even Cookware? Well many Beijingers come here. This market has everything you need to furnish a house on the cheap. Bargain is necessary (as with practically anything in Beijing)

Golden Market is a pretty good place to buy clothes and random chinese items near Wudaokou. The best purchase that I made was a Spain soccer jersey for 40RMB and a USA soccer jersey for 50RMB.

The workers are generally nice and don't attack you as you walk by their stalls. English is not as widely spoken as at other similar markets. This place isn't worth going out of your way to get to but if you live close it is worth checking out.
