Yulinting Kiln Site
遇林亭窑址
A Song-dynasty black-glazed porcelain kiln site of the Jian ware tradition, with a long dragon kiln and workshop remains. It is a place to learn about Wuyi Mountain's Jian tea bowls and tea-contest culture.
The Yulinting Kiln Site lies in the northwest of the scenic area, within Xingcun Town. It was a folk kiln that fired black-glazed tea bowls in the Song dynasty, and it has yielded large numbers of hare's fur bowls and gold-painted porcelain. Two dragon kilns, each more than 100 meters long, and workshop remains are preserved here. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit and one of the cultural heritage sites of the Wuyi Mountain World Heritage. The Song-dynasty fashion for tea contests was closely tied to these black-glazed bowls. The site receives few visitors. There is a protective shelter and explanatory signs on site. Opening hours vary, so please check on site. Drive yourself and combine the visit with the Yanzike Tea Garden.
