We are from a beautiful city that has a long tradition of silk in China, Hangzhou。
Hangzhou is located in the east of China and is close to Shanghai. It is well-known for its beautiful scenery, and is also called “Silk Town”. That’s because Hangzhou has a long history of silk production for thousands of years and was always been a center for silk industry.
The earliest record for silk in Hangzhou can date back to 7000 years. From that time, the prehistoric people knew how to raise silkworms and weave silk.
During the 12th ~13th century, Hangzhou was the capital city of ancient China. From then on, Hangzhou became the center for silk trading and manufacturing in the world. Silk was shipped overseas as one of the most valuable commodities.
But Hangzhou silk got its highest reputation from Marco Polo. He came to China and was here in Hangzhou in the 14th century. In his travelogue, Marco Polo described this city as “without a doubt the finest and most splendid city in the world” and was amazed at the beauty of the local silk.
Now Hangzhou continues her name as Silk Town in China for its booming silk industry. Wensli, a successful silk creator in this area for over 30 years, will always offer you the finest silk products and the best service you are looking for.
