Yixing

In Jiangsu province

Yixing is a county-level city administered by Wuxi on the shore of Lake Tai in southern Jiangsu, world-renowned as the 'Pottery Capital' of China. For centuries its Dingshu district has crafted the prized zisha (purple-clay) teapots beloved by tea connoisseurs, a tradition dating back to the Ming dynasty. The surrounding hills hold spectacular limestone caves and a vast 'bamboo sea', and the area produces fine Yangxian green tea. For an international student, Yixing offers deep craft heritage, lakeside and mountain scenery and easy access to Wuxi and Nanjing.
