we have visited two carpet factories during our tour, and it is seen that they are making efforts to maintain the fading old traditions, pity and it is worthwhile visiting before it disappears

It's just by the east bank of the river passing Hotan, there is a pulic tranport to this factory. You can see some female worker weaving carpet there. Beautiful and very stylish carpet, but they are expensive and mostly not for sell. It's good to just walk around the factory to know how the carpet is made. It is a small factory, so there is no need to arrange a long time to visit it.

We visited the carpet factory with two persons, as individual travellers, for about one hour. It was a part of a trip we made with a driver (for 300 yuan) with whom we had agreed to visit the Atlas Silk factory, the mazar of Imam Asim and this carpet factory.
First of all it is good to know the correct location. It is not in the centre of Hotan. The factory is located east of the river, about 6 km, 15 minutes by car from our hotel (Westlake). The entrance is on National Road 217, about 200 meters south of the crossing with National Road 315 (at 36° 06’12.9” N 79°57’52.6” E) It is on the eastern side of the road. You’ll see a house of the guard and a barrier. The entrance was free.
On the terrain of the factory are some buildings, but most were closed at the time of our visit. We visited only one building were we could see how carpets are made. A good way to see the traditional process from making threads until the weaving of the carpet. In this process we have seen that many women do a lot of hand- and footwork. There was no official guide who explained what we saw; our driver and the ladies who worked in this place, showed us how carpets are made. We (of course) could buy carpets after we had seen how they are made. Undoubtedly relatively expensive, but enough choice.
Summarized, this craft workshop is an educational excursion and worthwhile for a short visit.

This is a combination "carpet factory" and general tourist shop. It's huge and has endless glass cases of "jade", jewellery, knickknacks, knives, etc. but the prices were just crazy. Most members of our group (we were a large group of friends travelling together) who spoke Chinese ended up paying 10-20% of the original asking price; non-Chinese speaking friends got off worse unless they enlisted help. I ended up paying, for example, 300 RMB for a necklace originally quoted at 2500. They have huge mounds of very nice silk carpets ranging from average to high quality (determined by # of knots) but bargain, bargain, bargain if you're shopping.

The skilled and painstaking work that goes into making a carpet is easily witnessed in this factory. For the amount of labor input the carpets are relatively inexpensive compared to the machine made product available in Australia.
The carpets in the display room with images of Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping are interesting to say the least!

The women, and some men sit on wooden benches and use a hook type knife. They hook a piece of yarn around and then when they do say 50, they will trim them. If you ever wondered why rugs cost so much, this is why. Each strand is hooked by hand, and then trimmed. I can't even imagine doing that all day, but they seemed happy to be able to sit and talk with their friends.
