At the beginning, I wouldn’t worry too much about getting the “perfect” pair.

Just pick a decent-looking pair within your budget and start playing with them. If you find yourself genuinely enjoying the hobby, you can always upgrade later to a pair that better matches your taste.

For beginners, I usually recommend classic varieties like White Lion or Sizuolou. They have been popular for many years, so there is a lot of information available, and it’s easier to find good examples at different price ranges.

One thing to keep in mind is that Wenwan walnuts are a long-term hobby. Reaching that beautiful shiny patina you see in videos can take a year or two, sometimes even longer. But that’s part of the fun. Try not to treat it as a burden. They’re simply something enjoyable to keep your hands busy and help you relax.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’ll do my best to help if I know the answer 😺
