Yonglonghao Lacquerware | Ingenious craftsmanship.

| Ingenious craftsmanship. You can't imagine how amazing the exquisite lacquerware is. Its exquisite craftsmanship and elegant taste make it a must-see when visiting the ancient city. Pingyao lacquerware originated in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It has a history of 1,200 years and is one of the four major lacquer arts in China. It has always been a famous product of Shanxi, the first of the three treasures of Pingyao, and a world intangible cultural heritage, a treasure of the times that has been passed down for thousands of years. The front hall of Yonglonghao is the exhibition area, and the backyard has many introductions to the process and some tools. Here you can visit the workers making lacquerware, which is simply a boon for collectors. There is also a pair of very eye-catching "World's First Chopsticks" in the courtyard, which are said to have won the Guinness World Record in Shanghai. The walls of the store are filled with lacquerware of all sizes and characteristics, including many practical lacquerware items with new elements creatively incorporated by Yonglonghao. Location: Yonglonghao is located at No. 57, South Street
