Shop-Soiled-Not.
No-one likes to shop, where the goods are no longer fresh - or even tarnished....
Gift Shop or Culture Shock ?
Vexing questions..
Extinction or Survival ?
Simple answer - perhaps...
Give
Give the world, what it demands - or do they ?
" Just under what authority, do I have the audacity, to even suggest China and / or Chinese gardens - should consider the why? the where? and the what? "
Heritage
Keep seeking to authentically represent, what was originally purposed;
within the walls of a Chinese garden.
Was that not to shut the commercial world - outside ?

So if you must, then position these " Gift Shops " for added - value -
appropriately, so they do not jeopardise the Chinese Garden Scene.
Harsh words, or simple planning in TRUTH ?
