What to see
East Lake is a classical garden, while other named destinations include the Baoji Pre-Qin Cemetery Museum (宝鸡先秦陵园博物馆) and Liuying Folk Village (六营民俗村). Fengxiang is also where Su Shi (苏轼) began his official career. Liuying and nearby villages are centres for the painted clay figures called nihuo (泥货), or clay wares.
Local crafts
The figures fall into three broad groups: animal toys, often representing the twelve zodiac animals; hanging plaques with faces or tiger and lion heads; and standing figures from history and folklore. Makers use black clay, white powder and animal-hide glue, shaping pieces with moulds. Forms are simplified and exaggerated, with elaborate decoration and bright colours.
