Xi'an Shuyuanmen Pedestrian Street 西安书院门步行街
Browse Shuyuanmen for brushes, paper, inkstones and seal carving, giving one shop or craft more attention than the rest. A personalised seal can be meaningful if you agree the name, design, material and total charge before the maker starts. You can also enjoy looking without buying; keep the visit focused on tools and making rather than a souvenir hunt with no end. Pair the lane with the Forest of Steles if writing is a real interest, or keep it as a shorter stop near the South Gate.
