Pingtan Dongping Kiln Creation Base It’s said that Dongping Kiln was constructed in Jiangxi Province during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1796) of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Later, ceramic art lover Yu Xiaolun from Huizhou found it and bought it from the owner. Then he spent another sum of money to move it brick by brick from Jiangxi to Huizhou. The building, endowed with an antique beauty, has delicate wood carvings on the doors and windows, and an open and ventilated patio dotted with lotus flowers. Dongping Kiln is now open to the public.
