Xian Rong Trading is an open stall gift shop, and is subject to the weather’s temper, but the owner, Mr. Ma, still keeps it open year round. This gift shop mixes traditional Asian keepsakes with classic New York souvenirs. You’ll find silk robes next to ‘I love NY’ tees and Chinese lanterns next to baseball caps. Xian Rong is a small space, but there is a lot to look at--think treasure hunting in Grandma’s attic.
Need an “I love NY” ensemble? Find it at Xian Rong. Need a traditional Chinese outfit? Find it at Xian Rong. Need batteries or film? Find it at Xian Rong. This gift shop carries it all. There are dozens of “I love NY” hats, tee-shirts and sweat shirts lining the right-hand wall. The back wall looks like it’s wallpapered in Chinese silk because of the multitude of silk robes on display. Look to your left and be blinded by what looks like a waterfall of necklaces. Even the ceiling is filled with hanging lanterns of multiple shapes, sizes and colors
