u can take the metro line 5 to Tian Tan Dong Men, then take a taxi. But to be honest I wouldn't recommend LKT cue, not even the best cue maker in China.

Hi,
Actually I went there on Saturday with help of my navigator. Hardest part was to choose right door to step in.

I couldnt found any cues longer than 57". Most of the cues were with ash shaft and one piece. There was only one 3/4piece cue with maple shaft. It had splicings with green veneers. It was much too costly, actually exactly what cueinhand told which was maximum price 7800.

All the cues had weird markings one centimeter from joint to both direction. It had to have something due to manufacturing process, I think. With that much money I will never buy those cues. It is unbelievable 920 euro, with that money I could have any cue from UK.

Thats why I just bought qouple of tips to try. Nothing else.

But I have been playing snooker a lot with one young 13year old guy at one local snooker club. He seems to be hell good of a player. He has made against me many 50+ breaks out of which best has been 64. He told that his highest break is 115, so I think there are lots of Dings outhere in China.

The problem i observed on those cues are, for that price, the quality of the ebony is not good. Craftsmanship is out of question, uneven splices, broken splice tips, etc etc. can't understand how they are sold at that price, just frankly speaking. They are good enough for the rich local people, i think.
