You mean to tell me Halloween is only a few days away and you still haven't found a costume? If you're still on the hunt but worried a Taobao order might not arrive in time -- or worse, might not be the right fit -- these Beijing shops and costume rental businesses are the places you'll want to visit.

 Menghui Tianjiao Costume Zuling Gua

Menghui Tianjiao Costume Zuling Guan is like a Spirit Halloween store on steroids. Located in the heart of the CBD, their rental space is a giant warehouse where you can get lost in all kinds of costumes and even gowns and dress clothes. Think traditional Chinese hanfu, gowns, and a plethora of other options -- the venue tells us there's even some movie-inspired costumes hidden in there -- you can slap together in a pinch.
Note: The Halloween warehouse is located in an underground facility. Enter throug the Van Palace West Tower main entrance and take the elevator down to B4, exit and enter the parking lot, then keep walking until you reach the end and you'll find the warehouse. Most rental prices vary from RMB 100 to RMB 300.Where to find it:

B4 West Tower Van Palace, Jingtong East Road, Chaoyang District
朝阳区金桐东路CBD旺座中心办公楼西塔B4展
