Dabu Gaobei porcelain is a traditional local craft, including celadon, thin-bodied porcelain, underglaze blue-and-white, and underglaze polychrome ceramics. Notable products include the mottled green bamboo-joint tea sets, mottled green bamboo-joint pen holders, and mottled green bamboo-joint cups, which come in varying shades of glaze, presenting an elegant and understated style. The thin-bodied porcelain is known as “white as jade, thin as paper, bright as a mirror, and resonant as a chime stone,” earning it the title of white jade porcelain—exquisite, delicate, and graceful. Underglaze blue-and-white vases and underglaze polychrome vases feature vibrant colors, refined craftsmanship, greens like jadeite, and whites rivaling mutton fat. This type of porcelain originated in the Song Dynasty and has a history of over 700 years.

A national 3A-level tourist attraction, located within Fuda Ceramics Co., Ltd. in the Ceramic Industrial Park of Gaobei Town, Dabu County. Established in 2004 and based on Fuda Ceramics Co., Ltd., it is a comprehensive tourism area integrating ceramic industry sightseeing, hands-on experiences, and science education. It was awarded the title of Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology & Industrial Tourism Demonstration Base in 2010.

The Fuda Ceramic Industrial Tourism Area is divided into seven major zones: raw material processing, ceramic production, product display, master works exhibition, ceramic art experience, ancient ceramics exhibition, and ancient dragon kiln area. It mainly showcases the entire process from raw materials to finished ceramics, along with masterpieces, historical ceramics, and ancient dragon kilns, offering a rich ceramic culture experience. It also provides DIY ceramic experiences and ceramic science education. Among these, the ancient dragon kiln is situated near the ruins of a Song and Yuan dynasty dragon kiln in “Wan Yaoxi” Village, the birthplace of Dabu ceramics, about 800 meters from the tourism area. Built along the mountain and river, the kiln lies diagonally across the hillside, resembling a resting dragon—hence the name “dragon kiln.” It is considered a “living fossil” of the ceramic industry. After restoration and preservation by the Fuda Ceramic Industrial Tourism Area, the ancient dragon kiln has been returned to its historical appearance, holding significant historical, cultural, and educational value. Additionally, the tourism area is equipped with supporting facilities such as a visitor center, parking lot, public restrooms, shopping mall, and medical clinic.
