A world of flames and flowers

Using a torch that produces arrow flames of more than 1,300 C and melting glass tubes to create artwork, 23-year-old He Yang wants to "plant" a flowery spectacle representing all the cities in China.

He opened a lamp glass store on Chaozong street in Changsha, Hunan province after graduating from Changsha University in June with three of his classmates, all majoring in clothing design.

The store allows people to experience how to make beautiful objects from melting glass tubes.
