Leizhou kiln continues to stand the test of time

The rich history of Chinese ceramics is well-known globally, yet nestled within this tradition is the Leizhou kiln, a unique craft from the Leizhou Peninsula near Zhanjiang in southwestern Guangdong province.

The ancient pottery craft has not only endured, but has also adapted to modern demands. Thanks to the efforts of the China Storyteller Partnerships tour, the story of the Leizhou kiln has been brought to light.

Today, the legacy of the Leizhou kiln lives on through intangible cultural heritage inheritors who ensure the craft's techniques are preserved and shared globally.
