Extended data:

There are many large shopping malls in the north, such as Puren Hospital, Souxiu City, Chongwenmen New World and Guorui City, which are all good places for shopping. There are Beijing Gymnasium, Hongqiao Shopping Mall, Tianya Jewelry City and Tiantan Park in the south.

At the north entrance of the street, two porcelain shops, "Jingdexuan" and "Boutique Pavilion", opened one after another, and their business was booming. During the period of Xuan Tong in Qing Dynasty, it was renamed as Porcelain Mouth.

Since then, dozens of porcelain shops have been opened, and there are many porcelain stalls on both sides of the street, which has become a veritable "porcelain street". Because "porcelain" and "magnetism" are interlinked, the new China was named Ciqikou Street after its establishment.
