Be sure to buy a sturdy lock if you purchase one of the bicycles on offer at Giant’s flagship store. Inside the cavernous shop is a wide range of mountain and racing bikes, components, accessories and frames including the TCR Team Alu series (RMB 12,800-21,000).

Their Chinese-only website lists other branches in Beijing. Note that the store does not sell little bikes, so you can only shop here for teenagers and up.
