"When we were in Nepal, we could buy pottery that was made in China, but we only had this type of pottery making without any designs. When we came here, we learned a lot about designs, colors, and how they tell a story. It's not just something to buy, it's a story to tell. So that was really fruitful. When we came here, we also learned that there are different types of pottery, which carry the history of China through the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE) and different dynasties that this has been coming down. So this has been really fruitful."

Jingdezhen, the renowned "porcelain capital" in east China's Jiangxi Province, is drawing international tourists with its rich traditional culture and exquisite craftsmanship.
Recently, at the Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Expo Area, international tourists from countries like Nepal have not only been able to observe skilled ceramic craftsmen but also create their own pieces with professional guidance. Many visitors left their cultural patterns on the porcelain, immersing themselves in a rich cultural exchange.
