Is anything real in Beijiing?
I looking for that long street full of Tea Leave shops without the tea ceremonies !
Is that not real also?
PS: If bear gall bladders are no longer real,
You can find Bile Salts in the USA, that do the same thing!
And they cost a lot less overall!
Try maliandao tea shop street in the southen part of Beijing it's kind of tea shop "city" also wholesale business
You may google maliandao tea street to figure out weather it is what you need and it is not a tourist attraction ，no any fancy sights in the vicinity ,much of residential neighborhood of moderate locals
and IMHO except hard-core-fan of tea ,it maynot be worthy it to visit especially for a short time visit but rare chance for scam and fake things
I've been there before and got real good tea at reasonable price
p.s it had been bit of long time when i was there ,hope it remains what i perceived
good luck to you all
