- Ethnic Huaji Handwoven Cooperative workers in Shannan, Tibet Autonomous Region, were photographed on July 23, 2026, weaving Pulu — a traditional wooden fabric — into clothing at wooden looms
- The cooperative operates near statues of Princess Wencheng and Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo, the historical figures central to the founding-era Tibetan cultural narrative the cooperative's location invokes
Why it matters: The state-organized visit frames the Ethnic Huaji Handwoven Cooperative as a living link between contemporary Tibetan craft and the historical legacy represented by the Princess Wencheng and King Songtsen Gampo statues on-site, lending cultural-preservation authority to Pulu textile production.
