Cultural and creative products from Longquan, a county-level city in Lishui in East China's Zhejiang province, have been on sale at the Palace Museum in Beijing since the beginning of 2020, local media have reported.

One product that is popular among tourists is a Yongzheng pot, which is a replica of imperial porcelain made during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Longquan has had a close relationship with the Palace Museum since the exhibition of Longquan celadon there in November 2018.

In 2019, Shan Jixiang, a former director of the museum, came to Longquan to give a lecture and the Longquan kiln research center of the Palace Museum was established at Longquan Museum, opening a new chapter in the development of Longquan celadon culture.

The Palace Museum organized a special exhibition of Longquan celadon which opened on July 15, 2019, which attracted tourists from home and abroad.
