Are the shawls sold in Lijiang Old Town a specialty of Lijiang?

There are many shawls selling in the ancient town of Lijiang, and some of them sell Mosuo hand-woven shawls, which are Lijiang’s special tourist products. Mosuo women have learned from adults since childhood to weave linen, spin linen, twist wool, weave blankets, and weave belts. This is a delicate craft that Mosuo women must learn to master. If you touch a woman, you can weave a belt in half a day. Hand-woven linen and woolen cloth, in the shape of strips, thick and strong. In particular, the flower belts are made of wool of various colors, and some are woven with exquisite patterns and are bright and colorful. They have become valuable tokens of love when making friends with "Axia", or gifts for friends. It is a good tourist souvenir. However, many shawls are woven products wholesaled directly from other provinces, so you need to be cautious when buying shawls.
