Hunan Embroidery Museum of Hunan (Hunan Xiangxiu Institute) 湖南湘绣博物馆(湖南省湘绣研究所)
Visit the Xiang Embroidery Museum to see the craft as technique, history and artistic expression rather than just a souvenir category. Choose a few pieces and compare how stitching creates fur, feathers or light, using interpretation to understand the changes in the craft. A making session is a separate thing to ask the museum about; the gallery visit remains worthwhile on its own. This is a focused indoor alternative for travellers who love textiles.
