Stone Carvers Square

Hualien


Semiprecious stones, made into anything from tiny brooches to 500kg jade dragons, are sold from this photogenic series of stalls set in a small garden around a 1936 railway cottage.

At unit 22, you can grind your own tiger eye, shop 46 makes of framed back-lit art from translucent stone slivers, and there's a rather gratuitous indigenous dance performance at 7.30pm.
