Sanjianfang Have You Ever Been There ?

A few miles away from Gaobeidian, there is an antique furniture street not known to ordinary people-Sanjianfang. If it is the first time you come here, you can hardly find this so-called furniture market unless you make quite a few swerves. Fortunately, there stands a line of red-painted two-storey Chinese style
Sanjianfang
storehouses with green eaves. Upon inquiry, you will find dozens of fairly big workshops to collect and process antique furniture at Sanjianfang.
They are fairly big because almost every workshop has several large warehouses. Behind any one of these shabby gates is an astonishing scene: thousands of pieces of antique furniture are packed up in a limited space of several hundred square meters. That scene reminds you of the US-style warehousing marketing.Before long, antique furniture fans will find a brand-new Sanjianfang Antique Furniture Market. Then they need not wander around to explore the hidden treasure island, but go straight to their favourites!

Gaobeidian Antique Furniture Street The Preferential Benefit Furniture MarketFor many modern people, getting to IKEA and buying a few stylish furniture, has become quite out of date itself. Instead, to explore ancient furniture markets, coming across some genuine classics, is a far more attractive way to return to Homeland, and to take some solace from traditional culture.
The antique furniture street in the thousand-year-old village Gaobeidian, is a typical "creativity fair" that can easily make tourists linger on with no thought of leaving. It is creative because the street has not stay at the preliminary stage of selling or imitating traditional classic furniture , but has developed many imaginative designs by blending traditional styles with modern day trends, such as the concept of "new make of old wood" or even the idea of neoclassicism. It is a fair because this is a genuine village market, gathering dozens of workshops of different types along the 1500-meter long street, all with small fronts and deep backyards.
