Former site of Kilns in Dayao Road, Archaeological kiln site in Nanchang District, China.

The Former site of Kilns in Dayao Road encompasses 5.2 square kilometers containing 126 ancient kiln sites dedicated to porcelain production.

These kilns operated from the Five Dynasties period through the Northern Song Dynasty, becoming China's largest porcelain production center by the Southern Song era.

The Longquan Kilns gained recognition for their Ge ware, featuring thin bases and thick glazes that influenced ceramic production across Asia and Europe.

The site functions as a national archaeological park with research facilities, educational programs, and guided tours explaining ancient ceramic manufacturing methods.

European nobility adopted the term 'celadon' for these distinctive green-glazed wares, which were traded internationally from the 12th to 15th centuries.
