Apple's fourth retail store in China's capital city is expected to open in mid-December 2013.

Located at Beijing's China Central Place Luxury Walk in the Chaoyang District, the new Apple store covers an area of 1,000 square meters. It will reportedly become the largest Apple flagship store in Beijing.

This latest retail outlet is reportedly finishing its renovations of brushed metal, wood tables, and aura of cool. Apple is also preparing for the opening of several more stores in China, and its senior managers are participating in store manager training.

Apple currently has three retail stores in Beijing. In addition, the company has four stores in Shanghai, one in Shenzhen, one in Chengdu, and three in Hong Kong.

In 2013, China became one of the first markets to have Apple's latest iPhone and iPad products.This was impressive because China in the past usually received its latest devices months after other global markets had received their Apple products.
