Handwoven Shawls

　　In Lijiang, shawls are a standout feature. Fashionable girls walking through the ancient town all wear eye-catching, ethnic-style shawls.

　　 The ancient town of Lijiang is filled with shops selling shawls, one after another, creating a dazzling display. Shawls come in a great variety of types and materials, such as wool, cotton, and silk; they also come in different shapes, including square and rectangular. The most unique are the shawls handwoven by Naxi girls—made of wool, large, thick, and extremely warm. These handwoven shawls are truly distinctive and are fabric items that authentically reflect the colors and craftsmanship of Yunnan.
