Yes, Nov will be cold in Beijing so that please wear your warm sweater and coat. But seldom snow happens in Nov so the weather will not drop to the lowest point.
As for shopping, these brands are availble in Beijing. Please go to the Shinkong Place where you could found LV, Gucci and others.

Thanks for getting back with me. On average, what is the temperature like in Nov. I looked it up but it stated 85 degrees, which I didn't think was correct.

Also how do you read the currency versus the USA currency?

The average high temperature in Nov is about 9~11C degree as well as low temperature is about -2~0C degree.

In China, the curreny is RMB (renminbi)or CNY (the Chinese yuan).

Hi again jane,

Do you know of a guide/translator/interpretor that could be hired to help locate a whole distributor. I am looking to buy clothes and jewelry to sale in the USA.

thanks.
