Panjia Antique Market is one of the largest antique markets in China. It has many kinds of collectibles. There is a large variety of handicraft articles, ancient books, Chinese and foreign currency, jade, theatrical makeup, ceramics, pottery and porcelain items including some that are quite unique.
Most customers are antique dealers, antique collectors, people who like old, rusty and broken things and people who have the gift of seeing value in old things. With 10 yuan you can buy letters, stamps, envelopes, old coins, etc. all of which are very attractive to collectors. I know of one person who spent 90 yuan and purchased two items; an inscription from the Yuan dynasty and a beautiful multicolored porcelain vase from the Yuan dynasty. These kinds of colored porcelain are very rare. Even old stories can be collected here by those who are interested in such treasures.
I sometimes like to go to the Panjia market to buy things such as old bags and wine bottles. I bought a beautiful jade cup here that was the size of a child抯 fist.
Chaoyang Theatre works mainly on the performance of acrobatic show. Established in 1984, the theatre covers an area of 3,000 sq. m, including a hall and three movie halls. In 1986 it was assigned by Beijing Municipality as the fixed place for tourism performance and was designated as the National Cultural Advanced Unit by Ministry of Culture of People’s Republic of China. In order to meet the need of tourism market, the theatre put forward a notion of “Acrobatics World” to enrich the contents. In the past 20 years or so, it has received more than three million foreign audiences and has been in charge of tens of safeguards of important people who visited there, such as the president of Czech and the officers from the International Olympic Committee (IOC)
