Yesterday I visited Dafen for the first time in over a year. Noticed several tourists, better coffee shops, and a store selling Tibetan clothing. It seems that Dafen’s makeover from site of copy painting production to a shop-front / tourist site continues. Impressions, below:

nice. I may have to visit sometime again
I know! It was a pleasant surprise. Especially now that the roads have been built and public transportation (by bus or metro) is actually convenient!
