Aerial photo taken on July 17, 2019 shows workers of Yuxiang Carpet drying silk carpets in Nanyang, central China's Henan Province. While hand-stitched Iranian rugs are known globally for their exquisite craftsmanship, a little-known fact is that about 5,000 km away, a city in central China once produced about 80 per cent of all hand-made silk carpets sold globally. Twenty nine intricately woven, hand-stitched Persian-style carpets are currently being rolled and packed at a warehouse in Nanzhao County in the city of Nanyang, central China's Henan Province. They will soon embark on a voyage and appear in stores in the United States in a month's time. (Xinhua/Li Jianan)
