Du Ji Sheng Silk Weaving Factory and Museum is great place to watch Hangzhou silk being woven. The factory produces brocade, a very high quality silk product with a raised pattern. Founded in 1922, Du Jin Sheng received wide acclaim at the Philadelphia International Expo in 1926, where it won a gold medal for a multicolored brocade landscape. The museum exhibits the factory’s array of brocade products.
