The first floor of the store is a temptation to the most resolute shopper.
FOR those with some money left to spend by the time they have finished browsing the ground floor of the store, it is definitely worth braving the ''ferocious-looking'' fu dogs at the entrance to the first floor in pursuit of more bargains.
There is a lot more than women's wear on display, even though this is the main focus of attention. Bright primary colours attract the buyer to the wide variety of underwear that can be purchased.
Apart from Chinese silks, there is a selection of goods from Pierre Cardin, Philippe Charriol and Nina Ricci.
Outer wear is also on show, including a large collection of brightly coloured and ornately decorated cheong sams that sell for as little as $2,500 each.
On the other side of the store, away from the women's underwear, are men's fashions. Goretex coats and jackets offer proof that the visitor needs protection against the cold during winter visits to Beijing or the Great Wall .
