A staggering selection of Chinese books and music.. The Goods
Like an Oriental Barnes & Noble, this culture emporium proffers a huge array of books, CDs, DVDs and records, all in Chinese. Although the music and literature may hold little interest for non-Chinese, the store does sell jade sculpture, some beaded jewelry, rice paper stationery, school supplies, writing brushes and a small selection of guide books in English.

The Scene
Quieter than most of Chinatown's bustling shops, the feel here is almost of a library. Shoppers browse quietly through the store's several rooms, each featuring a different variety of media. High above the clamor of the neighborhood merchants, Oriental Culture Emporium offers a welcome respite from a day of negotiating crowds and haggling for designer knockoffs on the streets below.
