My Trip to China at 2010

I went to China from Sep. to end of 2010 for studying and researching. I went to Kaifeng--the capital city of Song Dynasty, and studied Bian Embroidery, which also well known style in China. Bian Embroidery started from Song Dynasty and developed more since then. I had trainings from my master Yuqin Han and also did some research on embroidery styles and history while I had training.

Kaifeng is a interesting city and adopted the styles from Song. This city was buried twice completely by flood and rebuilt twice exactly right above the old city and repeat the important spots. Some photos were taken when I saw something interesting and put them here to share with you.
