Looks FANtastic

No one knows exactly how fan came about in China, but most believe that its discovery should be accidental. Although the first fans used feathers, ancient fan-makers eventually used silk and paper as main materials. Eventually, fans began to serve as a decoration in addition to its practical purpose, and thus became more lavishly designed and separated into different styles.

This Fan Shop in the Chaoyang district offers patrons a unique opportunity to shop for a variety of beautiful Chinese fans. One popular type is sandalwood fans, which come in various designs such as “Ancient Beauties” and “Panda Eating Bamboos”. The sandalwood fan presents subtle, fragrant scents, and smells particularly refreshing. However, it’s much more ornamental than practical. Average cost for a middle-size sandalwood fan is around 80 RMBs.

In addition, the shop also sells Bamboo and Ivory types of fans. The owner speaks a little English, so communication is not a problem. If you like, he can even let you decorate your own fan.
