As Spring arrrives, warmer temperatures mean more visitors streaming into sightseeing locations. And some tourist sites are quick to promote themselves.
The ancient town Jingdezhen in southern China's Jiangxi Province, famous of being a porcelain town has decided to present things live in action.
This kiln dating back to the Ming dynasty was originally built hundreds of years ago, and is still in use. Craftsmen are taking out newly made porcelain out of the kiln, in front of the awe of spectators.
This ancient kiln fires a batch of porcelain every month, with the clay being burned inside for a whole week. It reenacts monthly an ancient porcelain firing ceremony.
The demonstration also includes clay molding, painting, and glazing. Visitors can better understand the process of porcelain production in ancient China.
