Watch out for friendly young female art students wanting to take you to nearby exhibitions of their work. To the unsuspecting, they appear to be genuine local Chinese who are amazed to see a Westerner.

While much of it is undoubtedly stunning, make no mistake; they're really trying to sell you some silk scrolls adorned with traditional Oriental calligraphy.
