My Trip

Wua Lai, outside the Old City's south gate, is a 200-year silversmithing town. A 'silver temple' hand-hammered entirely from silver and aluminum, workshops, and the Saturday Walking Street (handicrafts and food) that fills Wua Lai Road on Saturday evenings, all at once. A Saturday-evening-only course.
