I would love to buy some beautiful Chinese style solid wood carved furniture. OK, I could go to the retail stores here and drop CNY30,000+ for a gorgeous bedroom set, but with 50,000 small manufacturers (or so I have read) what I really want to do is buy direct from the craftsmen for less than half the price. When I wanted a classical guitar I went to a town in Mexico where the entire economy was making acoustic guitars and picked up a wonderful instrument. The money I saved easily paid for a wonderful holiday. So what I want is to find a town in China where the economy is largely dependent upon making carved wooden furniture (hardwood) where one simply walks down the streets and shop after shop has furniture for sale that they make in the back. While I know that such towns must exist, I cannot seem to find the information on the net. Can anyone offer some suggestions?
