When shopping in Beijing, keep an eye on objects of art with an oriental or local flavour and cultural artifacts of different dynasties. Beijing is representative of the finest arts and crafts China has to offer, but it is better known for four major varieties: cloisonn¨¦, ivory carving, jade ware, and lacquer ware. Objects that are of both aesthetic and practical value include epigraphic seals, traditional stationery, antiques, calligraphy and painting, traditional musical instruments, silks and embroidery, jewelry and precious stones, classical furniture, cashmere sweaters and hand knitted sweater. Folk art hunters are invariably faced with a dazzling array of products which run the gamut from figurines made from dough, clay and brocade to kites, paper cuts and masks modeled after a variety of Peking Opera facial makeup. A cornucopia of merchandises, including famous brands from around the world and articles of daily use, are available in the city's galaxy of malls, specialty shops and supermarkets, whose cozy environments and considerate clerks guarantee a relaxed and satisfying shopping experience for every visitor to Beijing.
