Day 3 - Shanghai Gardens 2 - Silk Museum

After the garden, we visited the Silk Museum, where they harvest the silk from silk worms to make comforters, clothing, purses, etc. They have all these items for sale (which, of course, we had to take advantage of. A couple of times.)

Each of the pieces of silk we are pulling on began as one cocoon inhabited by two silkworm twins. The workers are making comforters. Each comforter has multiple layers, so thousands of silk worms give their lives for each comforter.
