Guang Han Tang

Frommer's Review

Set in a delightful courtyard house constructed from the ruins of a derelict factory, all of Guang Han Tang's pieces could be described as partially restored, as they maintain a feeling of antiquity. Softwood furniture, such as fir (shanmu) and elm (yumu), is disparagingly referred to as "firewood" (chaimu) by the locals, though the sturdiness of the latter wood is recognized in the expression for a die-hard traditionalist, yumu naodai, literally "elm brain." Hardwood furniture, such as rosewood (zitan or hongmu), commands a higher price. Prices are serious, but so is the owner, Mr. Liang. No fakes here. Open daily 9am to 6pm.
