Women in the Nayo family have excellent weaving skills. They can weave high-quality textiles using wool from yak and sheep. Doltru, born in Maisu Town of Dege County in 1960, is the inheritor and promoter of the Nayo family's weaving craft. With the help of her daughter Tashi Chogtso, the products of Nayo's workshop grow in abundance and popularity. On the western Sichuan plateau, with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters, there are many traditional Tibetan craftsmen. Through inheritance and innovation, their handicrafts go out from the plateau to the domestic and overseas markets. (Xinhua/Shen Bohan)
