I liked their beautiful, exquisite patterns and the natural, fresh colors. nnGuess what? All of the items in the shop are entirely handmade!nnI couldn’t keep myself from touching a carpet. Wow! It felt so soft, velvety and elastic, and the whole carpet had a warm, shiny luster. It was remarkable!nnThe old Tibetan-style furniture also looked quite amazing. For example, one cabinet was red with some butterfly patterns on it.nnYou will also find many European-style tapestries in this shop, all of which are exquisite and gorgeous.nnHandmade Lamps with Wooden DecorationnnI visited an Art Market near the Avic Hotel yesterday, and here I recommend a lamp shop named “Ren He Rong Yi”. nnThey offer different kinds of wood carvings and lamps. I was attracted by the wooden decorations and beautiful paintings on the lamps. Strips of copper, silver and silk were inlaid on the wood, making the lamps both unique and useful. nnThe shop owners, Mr. and Mrs. Xu graduated from Tsinghua Fine Arts Institute.
