What travelers say:
First time to this kind of traditional store, full of novelty for everything. This kind of thing is the best souvenir. It is not as expensive as imagined, civilian price. So everyone I came to buy (of course I still bought the most one...)

Ri Xing Type Foundry Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Rixing Foundry has a batch of traditional lead-type copperplate molds, which maintain three Chinese fonts (kai, song, black) and seven sizes (number one to number six), each with more than 10,000 characters, adding up to nearly 300,000 typeface. With the popularization of computer typesetting technology, traditional letterpress printing has gradually faded out of the stage of history, but Zhang Jieguan, the owner of Rixing Foundry, strives to continue this ancient traditional culture.

I came with a group of highschoolers--several fluent in Chinese. Nevertheless, this is all new and we weren't sure what we were doing. We received no instruction or even direction. If we asked questions, it seemed like we were putting them out. It was an unpleasant experience and we won't take our school there in the future.

Computer typography has long replaced the industry of casting, but this tradition has been preserved here, it feels quite good, it is recommended. It is worth our feeling.
Very, very worth a visit, retains Chinese traditional culture
