Yabaolu

Long referred to as Beijing's "Russian town", Yabaolu features many Russian clothing shops.

Visitors may feel like they are walking on a commercial street in Moscow, with signs and advertisements in Russian everywhere. Russian publications and food are available, the language is widely spoken on the street, and most Chinese business owners can speak at least some Russian.

Every year, thousands of businessmen from Russia, Eastern Europe, Africa and Arab countries purchase furs here. It's a good place to buy clothing in larger sizes.
