We were brought here, by our Guide Louise Zhang, for a stroll and sightsee. Instead we found traditional Chinese calligraphy tools- Chinese writing brushes, ink sticks and ink wells. Coloured ink sticks are also available. Learned a lot about brush construction and what to look for. No idea how expensive good ink sticks are - my last purchase was in 1963 from the local stationary shop in Johor Baru, Malaysia! At our request and not as part of the walk, Louise took us to a shop that sold good quality stone seals. I had seals made for my three children. Had to wait overnight but Louise brought the finished products to our hotel next morning. The carving is as good as ones done by craftsmen in Singapore (craft shops, not street side vendors). Very happy with the stones as well, semi translucent and peach in colour. Very enjoyable ramble.
