Nestled in Jiangsu Province, Wuxi isn’t just a hub for silk—it’s home to an embroidery tradition so intricate, it’ll make your jaw drop. British vlogger Luke Johnston recently stepped into a local studio to uncover the magic behind double-sided embroidery, where artisans stitch designs visible on both sides of the fabric. Spoiler: It’s pure artistry.
During his visit, Johnston met masters who’ve turned patience into perfection. One craftsperson spent three years on a single piece—a floral masterpiece so detailed, it felt “like watching a painting come alive.”
Fun fact: This craft dates back centuries, blending precision with storytelling. Today, it’s attracting global attention, proving tradition and modernity can coexist. Johnston’s vlog? A love letter to Wuxi’s culture—and a must-watch for #Wanderlust souls.
Travel tip: Add Wuxi to your China bucket list. Whether you’re a #CultureVulture or just love pretty things, this city’s embroidery scene is *chef’s kiss*.
