Painters and calligraphers flocked to Rangbaozhai in the 19th century, making this paper store Beijing’s center for artistic discipline. It used to only sell art supplies, but now it doubles as a supply store and an art gallery, displaying and selling calligraphy, paintings, and carvings. Its stellar reputation is based on three centuries of history, and you are sure to find quality products here.
