In recent years, the village's pristine natural environment, centuries-old kilns, and rich celadon culture have attracted many established artisans to return. They have set up porcelain studios, opened guesthouses, and organized celadon porcelain-related cultural activities to entertain visitors.
Not far from the ancient kiln stands a complex of 18 bamboo buildings, designed by architects from nine countries. The largest of these serves as an exhibition space, showcasing both unearthed celadon ceramics and contemporary pieces crafted by local artisans.
The village offers a unique and enriching journey for tourists, says Zhang.
