Sanhe Tile Kiln is a preserved red-brick kiln complex that operated from the early 20th century until the 1980s. Now a museum, it showcases the region's tile-making heritage through original kilns, drying sheds, and clay processing equipment. Visitors can walk through the old firing chambers, view exhibits of handmade roof tiles and decorative ceramics, and watch live demonstrations of pottery wheel throwing. The site also offers hands-on workshops where you can create your own tile or pot to take home, making it an engaging stop for families and craft enthusiasts.
