Do you want to experience nature while learning about Chinese farm life? Cook in Shanghai will bring you fresh air and a relaxing atmosphere with our Tie Dye Farm Experience Day Tour! We will pick our own vegetables, learn to cook some amazing dumpling, learn about tie dye and enjoy the slow pace of the outdoors and rural life together.
Tie-dye (zha ran 扎染), as the name might hint at, is a process that is divided into two parts, first tie and then dye. Normally we use strings and wood strips, squares and chopsticks to tie parts of the fabric so that they will not absorb dye, giving the fabric a streaked or mottled look.
The tie-dye process is over 1500 years old and reached its peak in the Tang dynasty, it rose to popularity with the nobility there and was prominent until the North Song dynasty forbade it eventually. This ancient dying process is however still prominent in many places in China.
