Yue Hwa Chinese Products
Almost Like Being in China
Whereas Chinese Arts & Crafts is upscale and polished, this department store is like its country cousin, filled with both traditional crafts and practical objects essential to everyday Chinese life, with jostling crowds to match.
Founded in 1959, Yue Hwa Chinese Products carries a wild assortment of products, including household goods, furniture (the massage chairs always seem to be a hit), sports equipment, toys, luggage, shoes, and clothing for the entire family. It also has porcelain, jade jewelry, fine silk clothing, Chinese hardwood furniture and other Chinese arts and crafts that make good souvenirs. Most fascinating to me are the Chinese medicinal products, the uses for which some I can only guess.
The food floor in the basement is fun to peruse, but whatever you do don’t miss the tea department on the fifth floor, where there are live mini-concerts of Chinese music every Saturday and Sunday afternoon and where you can sample different teas before you buy.
