Each month we will be rounding up all the news about markets, bazaars, and fairs which Beijing has to offer. We want to include all events, large and small, so if you have a market you want to let our readers know about please shoot us a message by commenting on this post or through WeChat. Summer is proving to be a bit slow on the market scene, but there are still sellers and makers around this time of year for us to enjoy.
