Tianmen, Hubei

Tianmen has several distinct cultural entrances: the memory of Lu Yu and the Classic of Tea, the archaeological site of Shijiahe and traditional sugar sculpture. Tianmen sugar sculpture includes modelled and blown forms as well as ceremonial pieces. Each subject opens a different view of life and memory on the Jianghan Plain.
