Zang Xi

Taipei


There's no English name, but the colourful designs of Tibetan Buddhism and the Dalai Lama's portrait on the door will alert you to this cosy corner shop. Inside is a treasure trove of Tibetan Buddhist paraphernalia, from shelves of incense, mala beads, silver and amber jewellery to religious books and CDs. Look out for the stack of Tibetan language-learning magazines.
