Pearl Market afternoon of March 20 is a date.

Perfect time to go - off the ship, check in at the hotel and then taxis to the Pearl Market. Not sensible to try and tour that afternoon so it makes sense to hit the Pearl Market.

Before all you men groan they have a mens department, electronic department and the food department downstairs is a photographers dream. Foods you have never seen in your life before. Ken enjoys going and often we go in different directions and agree to meet at a certain spot at a certain time.

I take the ladies to the pearls he takes the men to the food market for pictures.

Those that prefer not to come could even walk to Tiananmen Square I think Eugene said it was close enough to walk or a short taxi ride.

Everyone will be happy.
