A visit to the Silk

A visit to the Silk Museum in Suzhou is a true immersion into the history and art of silk production. Here you can learn about every stage of fabric production, from growing silkworms to creating finished products. The exhibition includes ancient tools, samples of fabrics from different eras and unique exhibits demonstrating the skill of Chinese craftsmen. The demonstration of the process of unwinding thread from silkworm cocoons is especially impressive. Guides talk in detail about the traditions and technologies used for centuries. For shopping lovers, there is a store where you can buy high-quality natural silk products, which is what I did. This place is definitely worth a visit to better understand the cultural heritage of China and appreciate the beauty of silk fabric! Entrance is free. Also on the way out you can make a magnet with an engraving, the cost is not high, about 40 yuan. The museum consists of three buildings (visit them all) history, modern and future (the last one has a very cozy coffee shop and a souvenir shop!
