We are travelling to Beijing and Hong Kong and with a very little time to shop, where can I buy inexpensive children and woman clothes as well as toys.

In BJ, you are suggested to go to the clothes wholesale market for a try, such as BJ Zoo Clothing Wholesale Market and Dahongmen Clothing Wholesale Market. The price in these place shall be lower. Or you can go to local Silk Market (Xiushuijie) to find what you want.

In HK, if you want branded clothing, Citygate is recommended, where you will get great discounts. Just for regular clothing, Mongkok and Ladis Street are good choices.
