  Yunjin Cloud Brocade

  Yunjin cloud brocade originated in Nanjing and boasts a history of over 1,600 years. Its name — meaning "cloud brocade" — comes from its patterns, which are as vivid and splendid as clouds in the sky. Once an imperial treasure reserved for Chinese royalty, Yunjin embodies extraordinary artistic value while carrying rich cultural significance and historical heritage.

  Yuhua Pebbles

  Yuhua pebbles are natural agate stones, also known as ornamental stones or lucky stones, primarily found in the Liuhe District of Nanjing. Look closely and you will discover within each stone hidden landscapes, clouds, human figures, deities, flowers, birds, insects, and fish — vivid in color and endlessly varied. Treasured as gems among stones, they are a popular choice for display on a desk or bookshelf.

  Gold Leaf

  Nanjing gold leaf, with origins tracing back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is one of the treasures of China's traditional craft heritage. These extraordinarily thin metal sheets — just approximately 0.1 microns thick — are produced through meticulous processes including melting gold bars and hammering the foil. Renowned for their brilliant luster and uniform texture, they are widely used in temple decoration, craft objects, and the mounting of calligraphy and paintings.
• 

  Yuhua Tea

  Yuhua tea, a prized Nanjing specialty, is listed among China's top ten famous teas. The leaves are rounded and smooth in shape with a deep green color. Raw materials are subject to strict quality control, and the entire production process is carried out by hand. Yuhua tea excels in appearance, fragrance, and form — its aroma is fresh and clean, its taste rich and mellow, with a pleasantly sweet and lingering finish.

  Rong Hua Silk Flowers

  Nanjing Rong Hua silk flowers are a traditional handicraft that was already being exported to Japan, the United States, and other countries in the early 1980s, and today they are increasingly sought after by international luxury brands. Made primarily from silk thread, these exquisite creations take the form of hair ornaments, corsages, hat decorations, and decorative display pieces.
