Discover ancient craftsmanship in Kunshan

Bamboo weaving has a long history in the ancient town. The intricate bamboo weaving conveys the handicrafts of the bamboo master from generation to generation. A piece of ordinary bamboo can be changed into various utensils or some interesting animal models by being folded several times in a skilled master's hands.
