Beijing HWA Apartment Hotel: A Silk Shop

Hwa Apartment Hotel Beijing stands a few hundred meters from the JFC Silk shop. The shop offers a large variety of silk products like tablecloth, table runner, cushion, scarf, shawl, robe, and little accessories.

The tablecloth has different sizes. Small ones are about 4 x 4 feet, while larger ones come in 5 x 10 feet. The handcrafted silk fabrics are especially precious. Some customers even frame and hang them on the wall.

China is hometown of silk. When you travel in Beijing, you should really buy some silk items as souvenir.

By cab, it takes about 20 minutes from the Hwa Apartment Hotel Beijing to this shop.

Beijing HWA Apartment Hotel: Cabbage

Hwa Apartment Hotel Beijing is quite close to a popular jade shop known as Yu Hai Cui Yuan. The name is translated as "a sea of jade".

The shop features various handcrafted jade items. One huge jade carving of a cabbage is quite striking. It took three years for the artists to carve this giant piece of work.

Another beautiful jade carving is a basket containing peonies and peaches, with butterflies flying, and a cat standing aside. This is a good birthday present to the elderly. Peonies and butterflies stand for wealth, while peaches and cats symbolize longevity.

When you stay in Hwa Apartment Hotel Beijing, you can go to visit this interesting shop.
