A restoration expert sews up a Thangka embroidery dating back over 200 years at China Silk Museum in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. The restorer, Wang Shujuan, explained that the Thangka would be gradually repaired by adding layers of lining to the back of the textile. The Thangka was sent by Tibet Museum in October. Cultural heritage pieces made of silk are regularly sent to China Silk Museum for repair. (Photo/People's Daily Online)
