abstract:Silk Street (, literally meaning "beautiful water Street"), aka Silk Market or Silk Street Market, is a shopping center in Chaoyang District, Beijing, that accommodates over 1,700 retail vendors, notorious among international tourists for their wide selection of counterfeit designer brand apparel.
The residences that line her street, where fellow artists Gilbert and George also live, were built in 1729 for the Huguenot silk weavers who had settled in London and as such are Grade II listed and protected.
