Pan Gaojie makes a mermaid costume in Southwest China’s Chongqing municipality. Pan, 22, has been interested in mermaids from an early age. She started handmaking mermaid costumes after a performance for a hotel promotion. Unsatisfied with the mermaid costumes provided by the hotel, she started her own business and now sells costumes to customers from as far as the UK. (Photo: China News Service/Wang Jun)
