Nanfeng Kiln

The Nanfeng Kiln spans along a hillside slope with a south-facing entrance, incorporating traditional dragon-style architectural elements across its extensive structure.

Constructed in 1506 during the Ming Dynasty, this kiln facility transformed Foshan into a major ceramic production center during the Tang and Song periods.

The kiln maintains wood-firing techniques passed through generations, with experienced craftsmen controlling temperatures without modern measuring instruments to create ceramics.

Visitors can participate in pottery making sessions under professional guidance, choosing designs and patterns while learning traditional ceramic production methods.

The facility operates at temperatures reaching 1,300 degrees Celsius, with century-old banyan trees growing near the furnace mouth despite the extreme heat.
