Breathtaking wood carving and architecture !!! Peacock carved window rarely or maybe only found in here. Contains store with ancient god goddess mask and wood handicrafts.

Superb series of carved wooden lattice window. This place is worth the detour.

Although what others told me, I found this to be not that special. The carvings are well done and the overall window itself is well preserved. The main thing which I didn't like was the commercial hassle around it. It's just not that special compared to all the perfectly carved and build buildings in close proximity.
