Locating a low cost employed Oriental rug can save you money even though adding tremendous beauty to the interior of your property. The number 1 goal of any one seeking to get an oriental rug that's used will need to be to locate the highest good quality product for the least expensive attainable value. Buying one low-priced doesn't have to mean that the rug has to be old, shabby, and beat up. The fact is it is rather the opposite. After you know the right locations to look you'll be able to actually find an excellent Oriental rug that can last you for years. Let's examine some of probably the most well-liked places for men and women to get discounted rugs.
Evaluating the good quality of some thing you might invest some hundred dollars on may be stressful. It's even so worth it after you look at that the same rug could cost you a couple of thousand dollars at a store. It is feasible that one of the reasons why Oriental rugs bring so much much less dollars at an auction residence is due to their complexity. Each and every time 1 is sold, there are actually probably several men and women in the audience who are thinking about how low the value appears. Even though most of them would almost certainly like to buy 1, they sit there and never bid. This phenomenon is often fear related. Absolutely nothing expresses warmth a lot more than rugs, just like the Anji Mountain Bamboo you can see on this page.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) & Sequences within Anji Bamboo Forest, Jiangsu, China.?
House of Flying Daggers (2005) also contained some gorgeous sequences filmed within Tea Mountain, Bamboo Sea Scenery Park, Yongchuen, Chongqing, China.
1) Have any of you ever traveled to either one of these places in China or any other bamboo forest or grove?
2) Is this a difficult excursion for Westerners to undertake?
I've never been to China, but after watching these two movies, I am tempted to start thinking about such a possibility...especially if visiting these bamboo "gardens" is a possibility.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I can't say I've travelled to either of these places, but I've done a lot of travelling all over China, including several towns and villages that have starred in major movies but aren't really on the main tourist trails for foreigners (though are often popular for chinese tourists). I've been to plenty of sights with small bamboo forests/groves, but nothing yet that really that stands out in my mind as a spectacular bamboo forest. The photos of Anji look spectacular, though.
Most tourist sights in China are very easy to get to if you can speak a little bit of Chinese. While Anji may not cater much to Western tourists, it is sure to be well set up for receiving Chinese tourists. You don't need much Chinese: greetings, prices and simple directions. A short course in your home country may be all you need (say, 1 lesson a week for 10 weeks) - but will make a huge difference in giving you the ability to stray a bit from the standard tourist trail that most Westerners follow, and visit some sights that really interest you.
If you're willing to spend extra money - if cost is no object - then anything is possible in China. Top western-run hotels all over the country can arrange these things for you in English without you needing to know a word of Chinese. However, just rudimentary Chinese goes a long way in making your experience more enjoyable and making more of your trip.

Hangzhou is fairly close to Shanghai and a very pretty city with lakes and tea fields. It is very easy to get to from Shanghai and very popular with both Chinese and Western tourists. Given that the Anji forest is just an hours drive from Hangzhou, you (or your hotel) can easily arrange a taxi or car to drive you there (and possibly stay the night) for less than a few hundred US dollars (and possibly a lot cheaper).
So to answer your question: while Anji isn't on the standard tourist trail for Westerners, it should be straightforward and easy if you're flexible, somewhat adventurous and patient.
Just keep in mind that while much of China is very stunning and impressive, nothing ever looks exactly the way you pictured it from a movie.
Hey, I'm also very tempted to go to Anji Bamboo Forest now. If I do go (probably over a weekend), I'll let you know how it went.
You may often find many excellent quality area rugs after you look locally. The great thing about this is that you simply can meet the person who made the rug and get a feel for its excellent prior to you buy it. You may also come across numerous other varieties of rugs other than Orientals that you may perhaps obtain you like even far better. Finding one that's created locally also increases the chance that it can be handmade. Some individuals feel that handmade rugs carry a higher sentimental value because they were create with far more care than commercial ones.
Do your homework. Familiarize your self with nearby rug dealers. Shop their shops and check out their prices. Attend a couple of auctions that have Oriental rugs for sale and see what they sell for. Extra importantly, who is getting them? Are the dealers which you have met the ones who're bidding on them and buying them? If so, they're most likely decent rugs. Most dealers will not invest in sub-standard or defective rugs at auction, because they're the ones who send those kinds of rugs to auction in the very first location. Given that most dealers have access to an unlimited number of rugs by means of their connections, as soon as you know what you might be performing, don't be afraid to bid against them. They are going to only pay so a lot at auction for a rug. Bear in mind they're obtaining wholesale so they can mark it as much as contain their profit margin. When you bid additional than they do, you'll get it for a great deal less than their retail. Nothing expresses warmth more than rugs, just like the Anji Mountain Bamboo you'll see on this page.
