Minimalist Swedish DIY furniture store IKEA has landed in Beijing in a big way (could there be any other way in China?). The enormous store is the second biggest IKEA in the entire world behind only the flagship store in Stockholm. The layout and feel of the store is the same as any other IKEA - bright and airy, which probably makes it feel less crowded than it is.  While there may be more interesting and colourful places to furniture shop in Beijing (think Panjiayuan Antique Market), you can’t beat IKEA for basic, convenient, and simple everything-under-one-roof home shopping.  

 

 

If you grow weary of pushing your laden trolley around you can recharge your batteries at the restaurant on the second floor or browse the Swedish Food Market.
