Nanfeng Ancient Kiln

Nanfeng Ancient Furnace was built in 1506-1521, a rare furnace with a history of more than 400 years that is still in use for making ceramics. Nowadays it is the Guangdong Key Cultural Relic Unit. According to the historical record, Foshan ceramic base formed in Tang and Song Dynasties, which reached its peak in Ming and Qing Dynasties. “The ceramic products of Shiwan are popular in Guangdong and Guangxi as well as in other areas”, which had won the reputation of “Shiwan tile is the best in the world”. The mouth of Nanfeng Furnace is toward the south. At the back of the furnace, there were many banyan trees, which brought cool wind in summer, so the furnace was called “Nanfeng Furnace”. The Nanfeng Furnace fire burns for continuous five hundred years, blending the spirit of the modern times into the ancient ceramic culture.
