The merchandise you see in the store is very unique and rare collectibles. However, they are not antiques in a typical antique shop.
Some items at Yang Win 珠成 Gift Shop are pricey because they're carefully handcrafted and stored in perfect condition. The store has been maintaining with the right temperature and humidity as the hardwood loves.
