Slovakian model Patricia gets makeups applied in Puyuan Township of Tongxiang City, east China's Zhejiang Province, July 14, 2014. As a junior model, she is paid 2,000 RMB yuan (322 U.S dollars) per day. With the booming development of woollen garment industry in Puyuan, many foreigners were attracted here and work as fashion models to earn their living. At present, over 100 foreigners are active models in the township, who come from at least 20 countries. In 2013, the annual turnover of woollen garment in Puyuan reached 23 billion RMB yuan (3.71 billion U.S. dollars), accounting for 60 percent of the market nationwide. (Xinhua/Xu Yu)
