The Nanfeng Ancient Kiln, nestled in Shiwan, Foshan, Guangdong, is a must-visit destination for many tourists. Dating back to the Ming Dynasty, it boasts a history spanning over 500 years.

Famed for its ancient and well-preserved dragon kilns, this site holds a remarkable surprise: The fire in the 500-year-old kiln has remained unextinguished, and the kiln still functions after centuries. If fortune smiles on you, you may witness the firing process, which occurs only twice a month.

Here, in addition to the historical kiln, visitors can admire modern ceramic artworks, learn about the making process and even get their hands dirty with pottery mud under the guidance of professionals. It’s not merely a kiln site but a place that combines cultural exploration with hands-on, enjoyable experiences.
