Top 5 Most expensive Beijing Olympic merchandise

In a country where a factory worker may only make around $200 a month, only a few people will be able to afford to buy any of these items. While the Chinese design might appeal to a few foreigners interested in Chinese culture, the products are clearly aimed at the Chinese market. With the hive in economic activity leading up to the Olympic Games, I am sure there is a market for the products.

The store is in Wangfujing Street. Wangfujing is one of the main shopping streets in Beijing. It is closed to traffic. You really can’t miss it when you get there. There are actually two stores across from each other.
