Chinese traditional bows in Shanghai?

Post by Matti » Tue Apr 05, 2005 8:46 am

Hi!
My trip to Shanghai is happening in next week and I'd like see some Chinese wooden bows, maybe buy one for myself. Does anyone have any hints where I can find a trad archery shops in Shanghai?

Thanks!

:( No such shops in Shanghai, I fear. If you are shown 'traditional' bows, be careful as there are plenty of cheap fakes. (Luckily, they mostly look like cheap fakes, too.)

:P Yep. But you could throw away the bows and use the bowcases and quivers. They're not too badly made.
