Panjiayuan Antique Market covers 485,000 m2, divided into six different areas. Customers can find abundant antiques, crafts, collections and decorations here. Established in 1992, with the rise of the trade of folk antiques and crafts, it has now grown into a large-scale antique market which also serves to disseminate traditional Chinese culture.

Panjiayuan Antique Market is the most popular in China. At weekends, the customer flow volume can reach 60 to 70 thousand, a large part of which are foreigners. Tens of foreign leaders have ever visited and shopped in the market, including the former US first lady Hilary Clinton, US House Speaker and Thai Princess.
