Tons of trinkets of all sizes, shapes, colors, and purposes. Not all are Chinese-specific, as there appeared to be several representations from Japan, Korea, and likely other East Asian regions. And, of course, a lot of the items were Americanized in some way. Fun to walk through!

Same kitsch as a lot of the other shops, but all in one place.
