SHANGHAI - CHINA

Upstairs from the Mongolian restaurant we enter a silk rug weaving factory and huge show room. - The Shanghai General Carpet Factory, 15 Caobao Road. This is the largest manufacturer of carpets in southern China, but the 'factory' part here is just for demonstrations. The carpets are made in many other locations. It takes two girls worning 8 hours day for 14 months to make a 6x9 foot rug. The rug should last at least 150 years.
