BEIJING

The Russian market (Yabalou) is very popular among the Russians to shop in Beijing, China. Whole buildings are exclusively filled with shops selling fur coats. Tip: Bargain in the Russian language ;-) Other scenes are before & after the shopping trip.

Beijing is a shopping haven for just about anything. On the journey to the shopping malls, a traveler sees the lanes of urban Beijing from inside a taxi.
