Lonely Planet review for 3501 Pla Surplus Store
The Chinese armed forces, the PLA, are the largest in the world and this is where you can pick up some of their kit. Staffed by a cheery crew of middle-aged ladies, it's a good place to find cheap but hard-wearing boots, heavy greatcoats (around Y130) - ubiquitous in the Chinese winter, fur hats (around Y42), long johns and waterproofs. Binoculars, compasses, knives and watches are also available.
