Xitang, China

The Ming and Qing Dynasty Woodcarving Hall is located in the Xitang Ancient Water Town, Zhejiang Province, China.

The exhibits include carved beam heads, balustrades, window shades, and lattice windows. The elegant and exquisite designs are a demonstration of just how skilled the ancient craftsmen and artisans were. The most attractive piece is the statue titled "Basket of Lobsters, Shrimps, and Crabs" that is kept in a protective glass case.
