CHINA-SHANXI-QIKOU ANCIENT TOWN-TOURISM INDUSTRY (CN)

(231002) -- TAIYUAN, Oct. 2, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Villager Feng Yan'ai displays hand-sewn cloth tigers in the Qikou ancient town of Linxian County, north China's Shanxi Province, Aug. 2, 2023. Cloth tigers and shoes made by Feng have gained great popularity among tourists and earn her more than 30,000 yuan (about 4108 U.S. dollars) per year. Qikou, an ancient riverine town along the Yellow River, was an important trade ferry in history. However, with the development of land transportation, the Qikou ancient town declined in terms of trade volume, leaving many of its historical buildings in disrepair. In recent years, local authorities have carried out protection and restoration of historical buildings and ancient dwellings in the Qikou ancient town. At the same time, the integrated development of culture and tourism is also promoted. Today the ancient town has become a popular tourist attraction. More than 5,000 people out of a population of about 30,000 in the town are engaged in the tourism industry. (Xi

Sewing machine for sewing fasteners without tape jointly developed by JUKI and YKK.

JUKI and YKK have jointly developed the "Airy String" zipper, which has no tape, and a sewing machine for sewing the zipper. JUKI will manufacture the sewing machines, and YKK will buy and rent the machines and sell the fasteners. The developed fastener is expected to improve operability and design by integrating with the fabric. The sewing machine has developed a new mechanism to synchronize the elements that interlock the zipper with the fabric. This eliminates the need for stitching, which is done after the tape and fabric are sewn together to prevent them from shifting, thus reducing the sewing process. The two companies have been promoting joint development since January 2017, and in March announced a device that streamlines the sewing of fasteners for jeans, resulting in a significant increase in productivity.Photo taken on June 13, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
