Panjiayuan has over 3,000 dealers selling antiques, crafts, and collectibles. Terracotta Warrior replicas, vintage porcelain, Qing furniture, jade pieces, Cultural Revolution memorabilia. Most isn't authentic antique but craftsmanship is impressive.

While weekends are busiest with most vendors open throughout the day, arriving later in the morning (9-10 AM) means you'll find better selection as all stalls are fully set up. The early morning rush is when serious collectors compete for the best pieces. Bargaining expected - start at 30% of asking price. More interesting souvenirs than generic tourist shop items.

Take Line 10 to Panjiayuan station for direct access.
