This is definitely the place to come for souvenir shopping.  There are all kinds of unique shops selling food, decorations, art and many more Chinese style gits/souvenirs.  Don’t forget to barter for a good price!

We also had a great traditional lunch here, but I will blog about that in a separate post :-)   Here is a little video clip of the main square…
