The basement floor of Hongqiao is the fish market with just about every aquatic product on offer either alive or dead and just strolling this area is an experience in itself.

Hongqiao market is expanding outside its main area and just outside are other shops selling a variety of electronic games, sporting goods, stationery and toys.

Remember here as in other markets in Beijing and China as whole to bargain and try to get an idea before you come of the market value of the goods you seek.
