Imperial Kiln Site

The imperial kiln was established in the Ming and again in the Xuande reign; it burned until 1855, was rebuilt in 1866 and stopped firing in the early Republic. Rescue excavations from 1982 and formal excavation from 2002 to 2004 cleared a late-Ming northern wall and an early-Ming kiln, and turned up more than ten tonnes of shards from the early and middle Ming. The kiln site is a national key protected relic and part of the World Heritage property inscribed in 2026.
