Surviving Beijing's Cold Winter

With the winter is approaching in Beijing and temperatures going below zero, are you prepared yet for coldest days of the year? If not, you should visit the Down Wear Section on the 4th floor of Xidan Department Store. Down, the most insulated layer of bird feathers, provide great protection against the cold while staying light and thin. And the Xidan Department Store has all the famous brands.

When I reached the 4th floor, down garments of all varieties were literally everywhere. This makes sense, as it is the end of October. While there are many to choose from, the floor is separated by brands. The famous brands include Bosideng, Snow Flying, Ya Ya, and Sharon. Bosideng is the most famous as their down wears has many technological elements such as germproof, fungusproof, mothproof and odourproof. Prices for Bosiden down wears range from RMB 349 to RMB 788. Other brands like Hansi are a bit cheaper.
