Elderly craftsmen create folding fans at the Jinling Folding Fan Craftwork Institute in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu Province on August 22, 2017. As one of China’s four famous folding fans, Jinling fans are listed as intangible cultural heritage in Jiangsu Province. This type of fan is distinct to Nanjing.
