The Chinese Spring Festival has just passed, but the Chinese custom is that the first month is different from the year. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you the Chinese style tea towels made of pictures with Chinese characteristics.
If you know more about China, you may know that China has 34 first-level administrative regions, including 23 provinces, 4 municipalities, 5 autonomous regions, and 2 special administrative regions; just like the 50 states in the United States and 1 Washington, DC. We will make a Chinese style tea towel for each first-level administrative region of China. The name of this series is called “Here is China.”
Now, open your eyes and get ready to admire these beautiful tea towels.
