Nixi Village
Nixi, a Tibetan village, located in Shangri-La County, is a part of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Villagers mainly make a living from barley cultivation, and 80% of local families still follow traditional and ancient techniques to produce black pottery.
Their potting skills have been carried on for nearly one thousand years. Nixi black pottery enjoys great prestige in northwestern Yunnan Province and the whole Tibet area, for its unique appearance and special function for cooking (it makes the food more delicious).
