Handmade Kiln Introduction
Qinshou Kiln is located on the right side of Highway 21, heading towards Puli from Sun Moon Lake. Its appearance is quite tropical, and upon browsing the park's architecture and installations, one can feel the creator's spontaneity. The rough wooden carvings are full of primitive flavor, and the design and construction of the exhibition area and restaurant seem like casual creations made by the owner, allowing for a sense of freedom while walking through the park. Visitors can spend 150 NTD to roll up their sleeves and enjoy the pleasure of hand-pulling pottery; it's a delightful experience for families. The beautiful and friendly name "Qinshou Kiln" was thought of by the owner, Wu Zhibin, at four o'clock in the morning on the day of the opening. He woke his wife to get her opinion, and thus, the Qinshou Kiln in Zhongming Village was established. Mr. Wu's home was originally the tourist service center of Zhongming community, and it is now a pottery workshop where every brick and tile has been personally piled up by him, including the pottery classroom, the building, homestay, as well as a suspension bridge and pavilion. There is also a wooden sculpture on the main building that tells the story of Mr. Wu's journey from being a fish seller's child to where he is today.
