Yulin Manor

Yulin Manor

Yulin Manor is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

A thousand years ago during the Song Dynasty, amid the chaos of war, to escape the turmoil, Master Lin, a clay former from the Jun Kiln in Henan, and Master Lin, a glaze maker from the Shuiji Kiln in Jianzhou, came to Mount Wuyi. They met the owner of a local porcelain clay field surnamed Lin at Fengyu Pavilion. The three, who shared similar interests, joined forces to build a kiln together. Thus, “Yulin Kiln” was born, becoming China’s first-ever partnership enterprise.

Cixin Garden was established in 2006 and is rooted in one of the most beautiful and happiest places in the world — Mount Wuyi. The group company operates in five industries: porcelain, water, tea, Zen, and music, with branches established in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Fuzhou, and Shenzhen.

Yulin Kiln is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cixin Garden. It has developed a “one body, two wings” business model, promoting an Eastern wisdom lifestyle to the world through the “Filial Piety & Smile Card,” and building an internationally distinctive brand with Chinese ethnic characteristics.

The “one body” in the “one body, two wings” model refers to Yulin Manor — a Fujian Provincial Industrial Tourism Demonstration Base and a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

Wuyi Mountain’s Yulin Pavilion once echoed the legacy of China’s dragon kilns, forging the brilliance of Song Dynasty ceramics that stunned the world. In December 1999, the kiln site was included in the Mount Wuyi UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. In front of the hall, a small bridge spans flowing water, while the shelter over the two furnaces beside the hall resembles two dragons rising along the mountain, or two winding corridors for mountain excursions. Established in the Song Dynasty and with a history of over 800 years, it is the best-preserved ancient porcelain kiln site in the country. The celadon ware it produced — including bowls, plates, cups, and pots — was renowned for its exquisite shapes and vibrant green glazes. The products were hugely popular across China and exported to Europe, America, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, and other regions, especially favored by the Japanese. Several dozen black-glazed bowls with traces of gold and silver painted designs were discovered at the site, featuring landscapes, flowers and birds, as well as auspicious inscriptions. These unique and precious pieces, known as “Pearl-Glaze Celadon,” gained widespread fame.
