If you’re visiting Beijing and only want to bring back one meaningful and practical souvenir, consider a traditional Chinese folding fan. It’s lightweight, beautiful, and surprisingly useful.
If You Only Buy One Thing in Beijing…
People always ask: what should I buy in Beijing?
You’ll hear the usual answers—tea, silk, snacks.
But honestly?
There’s one thing I keep recommending: a traditional Chinese folding fan (京扇子)
It’s simple, but it just makes sense.
