Join our Village Voyage to Shunde, Guangdong Province, on May 19 – China Tourism Day! In the old villages of Lingnan, meet the intangible heritage inheritor who turns mulberry silk into xiangyunsha using cinnamon vines (Dioscorea cirrhosa) and the golden rays of the sun. There are over 30 handcrafted steps involved in the process – no machines can replace them. It's the world's only silk dyed with pure plant pigments. No wonder it's called "soft gold."
