Anshun Shopping & Nightlife

Wax Printing

Once you have enjoyed the beautiful waterfall scenery in Anshun, do not forget to check out souvenirs for your family and friends. In Anshun you will find many locally produced handicrafts that are well known both in China and abroad.

Wax Printing (batik art) is one of the most famous traditional crafts in the Guizhou Province, and originates in Anshun. The designs used on the cloth reflect the beautiful mountain and river landscape; ladies-in-waiting, birds and animals, as well as traditional cultural relics. The veins are fine and beautiful and mostly are dyed red, yellow or brown. The Buyi Carpet is another handicraft that is popular among tourists and reflects the culture of Buyi Minority in Anshun. Designs are novel and delicate, retaining an elegant simplicity. Wood-carvings are also very popular, often coming in the form of masks, sculpted with rough lines and exaggerated expressions.

Zhenning Bobo Candy is produced in the Zhenning Buyi & Miao Minority Autonomous Counties and is very tasty. It contains aminophenol and vitamins. Beef jerky is another popular area food, which makes a portable snack that can supply energy immediately and taste good.
