New China Store for Children, Beijing

If you take the kids along to this store, you might be hard pushed getting them to leave. This six-storey building offers everything a child could dream of from toys to stationery and clothing. This shop was the first state-owned department store for children following the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Apart from stocking everything a child could possibly want or need they also offer dining and entertainment facilities. It is good thing that the shop does not provide lodging facilities.
