Beijing shopping is more of an art than it is a process. Western tourists who visit Beijing would be well advised to spend some time researching the information about the shopping areas prior to visiting the country. Listen to veteran shoppers who describe where you can find certain types of products. For example, you can find bargain price, fresh water pearls, silk fabric, jewelry and artists supplies. It's important to haggle for the best prices, and ... to save face with the Chinese shop owners. Look for small antiques (genuine), ethnic clothing and tailor made garments.

Beijing has a great number of migrants from all over the country. There are two major reasons. One is the return of the "Educated Youth" who went to the countryside and mountains during the "Cultural Revolution" and came back to Beijing afterwards. Another reason is the large labor forces migrating to Beijing from other provinces seeking a job or doing business, since the gap in social and economic development is getting larger with regard to Beijing and other regions of the country. Meanwhile, population movements for studying or training, for marriage or joining family, for visiting friends or relatives are ... playing a very important role in migration.

In 1995, delegates from 189 countries gathered in Beijing at the UN Fourth World Conference on Women to discuss the status of women worldwide and adopt a program for action. At Beijing, governments reaffirmed their recognition of reproductive rights as human rights and made commitments to secure these essential guarantees for women all over the world. Ten years later, at the 49th Session of the UN's Commission on the Status of Women, governments met to review their successes and failures in achieving the goals of Beijing. The Beijing+10 review provided an opportunity for NGO representatives from around the world, who monitored and contributed to the governmental discussions, to share their experiences in pushing for implementation of Beijing at home. Below are some legal tools from the Center.
