Finding western products in Beijing?

[Katja_84]

Hello,

Does anyone know of a good place to buy hard-to-find items in Beijing (e.g. sunscreen that doesn't whiten your skin, shampoo that doesn't make your hair 'extra sleek' (all the shampoo I've tried in China are a disaster for thin straight Scandinavian hair), Earl Grey tea, etc).

I've tried the Walmart in Xuanwumen and the Watsons in Xidan.

Thanks

If your Chinese is good enough, try www.taobao.com, you'd find tons of real (and fake, of course!) western products!

BHG Marketplace has a lot of imported goods. It has branches in Shin Kong Place, Solana and another spot near the airport.

The BHG I go to (at Raffles, Dongzhimen) has some imported food but I had a look at the shampooy stuff and didn't see anything. I'd try Jenny Lou's, or maybe a high-end Chaoyang hairdresser.
