A nice place to catch sunrise as there is a relatively large lake with nice reflections. Just that the platform for taking the shots can get quite cramped with photographers.

Money spinning silkworms at the silk factory.

Nice symmetry & PP.

Though a bit cruel seeing how silk was produced. Was the silkworms actually boiled alive or was it just the empty cocoons ?

Thanks for your comments!
yah it is actually pretty cruel, most of the cocoons are boiled with the worms inside, only 10-20% allowed to live and reproduce i think.
