A symbol of the knowledge, wealth
and beauty of China. In order to guard the secrets
of the creation of this sublimely exquisite fabric, silk production was closely monitored by both Emperors and high-level entrepreneurs, who became
increasingly wealthy, as silk flowed through Persia to Europe and North Africa
along the caravan routes that became known as the Silk Road. Shanghai Tang continues this legacy of creation,
combining contemporary designs
with the splendour and majesty of Ancient China
