The stones are always very smooth and are frequently carved with dragons, clouds and additional traditional images. The Tuanyan brand produced near Zhaoqing has been used by Chinese calligraphers for over 1,300 years.

The Tuan Inkstone Factory is definitely one of the popular tourist attractions in China. It is worth paying a visit while touring the country. This place will leave a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justify the proud cultural tradition of China.
