Tourists seek bargains at Beijing¡¯s famous Silk Street Market. The downtown site has attracted more than 45,000 people daily since the start of the Olympic Games including athletes, officials, sports fans and tourists. Since August 1, delegations from about 80 countries and regions have ordered more than 3,000 tailored suits. The market has received a dozen first ladies and at least four presidents since the Games began, including former US President George H. W. Bush and Anne Rogge, wife of International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge.¡ªShanghai Daily
