The Chinese Culture Shop is a charming and well-stocked gift shop in a historic town. It offers a variety of items including outfits, small statues, umbrellas, kids' stuff, souvenirs, snacks, and books about the town and delta region. The owner, Clarence Chu, is a warm and friendly gentleman who makes visitors feel welcome. The shop is a favorite stop for many, praised for its interesting and affordable treasures, such as calligraphy sets and terracotta soldier figures. Despite its small size, the shop is packed with items worth exploring, making it a great place to support local business and find unique gifts after visiting nearby museums.
Owner Clarence Chu was very warm and kind to our family, including our children. We loved picking up some snacks and a book about Locke called Bitter Melon. Please support local business in this historic town !!

Besides lots of Chinese items, there is an excellent selection of books. Pick up a copy of Bitter Melon to learn about the history of Locke and the Chinese immigrants of the Sacramento River delta. The entire town of Locke is a living museum.
