The Village Sanlitun 三里屯Village

Fashion and leisure in a futuristic shopping complex
Noteworthy for: This bustling shopping complex is home to the world's largest Adidas store and China's first Apple store.

With it's slick contemporary design, ample shopping options and swish cafes, restaurants and bars, this fashion and leisure complex is an almost inevitable stop during your stay in Beijing.
The centre is divided into two parts: The South, offering popular fashion brands such as Mango and Uniqlo, and the upscale Village North, home to a number of high-end labels and designer boutiques, including Armani and Balenciaga.

If you're not shopping, you can take in the innovative architecture after cocktails at Apothecary (featured in this guide), or on your way to the Sanlitun clubs.
