I love places like this. They are reminders of small-town commerce everywhere in the world - not all that long ago. Here you can browse for hand-tools that allow agriculture to flourish. This place is near the tourist site of Maiji-Shan. Not many travellers take time to take a rewarding walk down this village street.
It's one of the many village experiences on our Silk Road tour through China and Central Asia.
