Nali Mall 那里市场

Tucked away in a small alley off Sanlitun lies Nali Mall, my favorite shopping retreat. Just a five-minute walk east from Yashow Market, the lesser-known Nali is the perfect place to head to when you’re in need of some serious retail therapy. The small, boutique-like stores are a welcome break from the hard bargaining shopkeepers found in the larger markets, and the items – although pricier – are similar to ones you would see in popular magazines. Although it’s not particularly big, the stores are well stocked with the latest fashions, and once you become a regular, shopkeepers aren’t hesitant to shave a few RMB off the price here and there. All this makes Nali my favorite place to shop in Beijing.
