Handmade Kiln Introduction
Qinshou Kiln is located on the right side of Provincial Highway 21 towards Puli from Sun Moon Lake. Its appearance is quite tropical, and visitors can appreciate the unique characteristics of the buildings and installations in the park, which reflect the creator's spontaneous style. The rough wooden carvings exude a primitive flavor, and the design of the exhibition area and restaurant feels like a casual creation of the owner, affording a sense of freedom while wandering the park. Those who visit can pay 150 TWD to roll up their sleeves and enjoy the pleasure of handmade pottery, making it a joyful experience for families. The beautiful and friendly name "Qinshou Kiln" was conceived by the owner, Wu Zhibin, at 4 a.m. on the day of its opening, when he woke his wife for her opinion, thus establishing the Qinshou Kiln in Zhongming Village. Mr. Wu's home originally served as the visitor service center for Zhongming Community and is now a pottery studio. Every brick and tile has been meticulously placed by Mr. Wu himself, including the pottery classroom, guest house, suspension bridge, and pavilion. There is also a wooden carving on the main building that tells the story of Mr. Wu, who started as a child from a fish-selling family and has come to where he is today.
