We went to a city in Taiwan that was famous for its wood carvings. What I remember of it was a row of shops along a street with a forest at the end. All the shops in that row were selling wood carvings. They had everything. There were carvings of all sizes, from microscopic to much bigger than a person. There were carvings of everything, from shoes to gods. They were all beautiful. I suppose all the shops must have had some repeat carvings, but it was hard to tell because of the sheer quantity. Most of the shops were like the ones I have pictures of. Just a small room stuffed with carvings. There also was a larger, fancier building. It in there were mostly human-sized carvings. It seemed more like a gallery, and all the stuff there was expensive, like “this is how much money I make in a year” expensive. The only thing we bought was a set of chopsticks.
