Papermaking Museum

About an hour's walk from Jietou, tucked away in a small village surrounded by fields of young tobacco, is a museum dedicated to the art of paper making. The museum itself is a strange sight. On the edge of a traditional village, it looks like a modern summer home in the US, with oddly angle roofs and large glass windows.

Inside there are displays and explanation of the local traditional paper-making process including some old basins and frames.

This is dipped into the water, a thin film of pulp settles on it, and it is peeled off onto a stack of wet paper.
The horse is a watermark of sorts.

Don't know what these were for, but the dragons were cute.

People in the town still make paper and it's sold online.

The wet paper is stacked up in the upper right and is draining through the spout back into the large basin.

Here's a write-up in the Global Times about the revival of this style of papermaking.
