This is one of those touristy things that I usually don't like doing but I was very interested in the silk production. It was well worth visiting the factory to see the demonstration of how it all works. You do not have to buy anything but naturally, I did! The fabrics are beautiful so I couldn't resist.

It takes something like 2,000 cocoons to make 1 yard of silk fabric. The process is very interesting.
