Suzhou Embroidery(刺绣), also known as Su Xiu, is one of the most famous types of embroidery in China. It comes from Suzhou, a city known for its beautiful gardens and wonderful culture. Suzhou Embroidery has a history of more than 2,000 years and is famous for its wonderful designs and bright colours.
History

Features
Suzhou Embroidery is famous for its refined threads and stitches(精细的针线活). Craftspeople use silk threads, as thin as a single hair, to make the work of art seem alive. The embroidery has patterns(图案) in the shape of flowers, birds and landscapes. The double-sided embroidery is the best of its kind because we can see patterns from both sides.
