Q: Where can I find typical Chinese/Tibetan furniture in Beijing?

Ideally, I would like to be able to buy it and then have it shipped to the USA. Any ideas on how to do this?

I've seen Tibetan-style furniture for sale at Panjiayuan Antique Market at one of the shops lining the market square. You would probably have to take someone Chinese with you to bring down the price otherwise they'll totally rip you off.

Buying Trip in Shanghai city on Chinese Antique Furniture

--- Written by Philip Bruce Tetrick on May 27, 2011

After about a 45 minute taxi ride, our first furniture vendor, Royal (the English name he has taken), greeted us at an intersection in his part of the metropolis and then drove us in his van to his furniture warehouse. His warehouse offered us rows and rows of stacked furniture to choose from.  Not being air conditioned, the place was hot, humid, dimly lit and dusty; ah, warehouse shopping in Shanghai. Hand-selecting our furniture is very important to us and we think to our customers. This process allows us to inspect each piece by seeing and touching, looking inside drawers, testing finishes, accessing the craftsmanship and to ask questions from the suppliers. We have rejected many pieces because they didnot meet our standards.
 
We felt comfortable with Royal's  knowledge of the furniture and the furniture business. Royal's true passion is designing furniture with a new interpretation of Chinese style. We learned that he personally collects furniture, from around China, and restores and/or repairs the piece as needed in his warehouse. Over the centuries, much of the antique stock of furniture, in China, has been damaged due to neglect and the conditions in which they have been housed. We hand-selected about 45 pieces of furniture from his collection.
 
try to reach Mr.Royal Hsu at 13621990301 or 13901685220 email:shanghaifurniture@hotmail.com, and get to know where his warehouse is to see his chinese antique furniture collection.

Not Beijing, Shsnghai! Read the memo carefully or you don't get your 5 mao. And spamming the same message 2x in a row is not rewarded double.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
