Changsha Tongguan Kiln Site, Archaeological kiln site in Wangcheng County, China.

The Changsha Tongguan Kiln Site spans 68 hectares and contains 76 kilns, 19 clay mines, product warehouses, and ancient tombs.

Starting production in the early Tang Dynasty around 618 CE, the Tongguan Kilns operated continuously for over 200 years until the Five Dynasties period.

The site developed advanced underglaze painting techniques and exported ceramics to 29 countries across Asia and Africa during the Tang Dynasty period.

The archaeological park offers ceramic manufacturing demonstrations and educational programs about traditional Chinese pottery production methods.

The southern slope features a 41-meter-long dragon-shaped kiln from the Tang Dynasty, constructed to maximize heat transmission through the hillside terrain.
