Liaoning's swimwear industry making a splash

Kaygasova Evgenia from Russia went to Huludao, a coastal city in Liaoning province to discover the secret behind its world-famous swimwear products.

In the past 40 years, Huludao has built an annual 10 billion yuan ($1.5 million) swimwear industry from scratch, according to the local city government. The city is home to businesses that manufacture products such as bathing suits and swim trunks.

Statistics from local authorities show that over 150,000 local villagers benefit from the booming industry. Female farmers earn up to 60,000 yuan yearly in sewing workshops without having to leave home to work in big cities.
