The two meandering streams in front of Tianmu Mountain flow gracefully towards Qiantang like majestic dragons. The culture of Tianmu Mountain is closely intertwined with the culture of West Lake and the Southern Song dynasty. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were nearly one hundred ancient kilns on Tianmu Mountain in Hangzhou, where exquisite black glazed porcelain and celadon were produced. Today, Tianmu Mountain has transformed into a significant natural and cultural attraction that offers a unique experience of the Song and Yuan dynasties in the Yangtze River Delta region. Visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquil ambiance, listen to the soothing sound of morning bells and evening drums, savor a cup of tea, and freely explore the fascinating world of Tianmu ceramics. Additionally, they have the opportunity to engage in hands-on porcelain making and unleash their creativity by crafting their very own distinctive pottery.
