Linxia City

Linxia City is the county-level city within Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture. The national intangible-heritage catalogue names Linxia County as the place associated with the brick-carving project. The craft’s panels appear in workshops and across architectural settings such as courtyard walls, gates and rooflines.
