For those who want to find nice decoration items for your sweet home or working office, I recommend ECI Art Gallery to you.

The shop is not far from the Forbidden City. It offers a selection of pottery pencil and flower vases, and ashtrays. The weirdly wonderful designs of their products really take me!

There I saw a Great Wall shaped pencil vase, with the famous Chairman Mao saying: He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. The design is great yet practical! And it only costs RMB80.

I personally like the stone-shape vase, carved by an old Chinese slangs: where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise'. So I bought the vase for RMB 90 with a 10% off.

Also, I found a selection of yak-bone rings, turquoise-studded bracelets from Tibet, and colorful clothing from the Himalayan nation of Nepal. Prices vary, from RMB 30 for a string of rosary to several hundred RMBs for a Nepalese Saari.
