Obviously for art-related materials. They sell a lot of brushes, paints, pens, markers and probably other obscure shit I can't find. No india ink that I could find though.
The Jinhao makes very cheap knockoffs of various brands that are good quality.
Jinhao 159 is a Montblanc 149
Jinhao 599 is a Lamy Safari
and more if you google.

I just got this kit for less than 10€.
It's from Bianyo, they have a neat store on AliExpress and the reviews convinced me to buy this, I needed something to start with.
They sell many supplies, and also manufacture/brand some.
The kit has a nice set of pencils, plus some cool stuff like charcoal and paper stumps, and comes with a simple roll-up case.
Perfect for beginners like me who couldn't achieve much with a single HB pencil.

>Jinhao 159 is a Montblanc 149
More likely just inspired by, the Jinhao looks absolutely nothing like a Montblanc. Any of the cigar shaped pens the major japanese brands make are much much closer.
what about books any links to buy the Chinese books?
