| There are many many of these workshops where young girls are learning classical Chinese embroidery. You can bring your favorite photo to this shop and they can embroider it - the threading is so intricate and detailed, it's amazing how much time and precision is put into one piece of work! The most amazing piece I saw was of a sunset view with boats on the ocean - the impressions of the reflections of light on the water is unbelievable beautiful. |
