In the Fuquan subdistrict of Shaoxing's Keqiao district, six grain silos were transformed into an eye-catching runway on May 11.

These silos, once used by local residents to store wheat and grains, were part of an prominent storage site in Zhejiang province. The newly added white circular runway evoked a time tunnel, taking the audience back to the days when these silos were full of grain.

An official from Fuquan subdistrict explained that the event brought together top domestic and international fashion designers with premium fabric companies.
