Burmese Padauk Chinese Chess Set | Travel Xiangqi

Bring the timeless strategy of Xiangqi wherever you play with this handcrafted Chinese chess set made from solid Burmese Padauk wood. Designed for players, collectors, and lovers of traditional Chinese craftsmanship, this compact travel set combines natural wood character with traditional hand-carved detailing.

Handcrafted Burmese Padauk Wood

Each set is crafted from solid Burmese Padauk (Pterocarpus macrocarpus), a dense hardwood known for its rich reddish-brown color, distinctive grain, and natural durability. The wood's warm tones give every board and chess piece a unique appearance, while the solid construction is made for regular tabletop play.

Because natural wood varies from piece to piece, each set has its own grain pattern, color variation, and subtle natural character.

Choose Your Carving Style

Choose between two traditional carving styles:

• Yang Carving – Raised characters and details create a tactile, dimensional appearance.
• Yin Carving – Recessed characters create a more understated look with deeper shadow and contrast.

Both styles are individually hand-finished, making each set slightly different.

Two Portable Piece Sizes

Choose the size that best fits your playing style:

The 50 mm set is a convenient choice for travel, office use, and compact storage. The 60 mm set provides larger pieces and a more substantial tabletop playing experience while remaining easy to carry.
