The Boshan district in Zibo city, Shandong province, has become China`s largest colored glass producing base.

Last year, the colored glass industry brought Boshan an output value of 2.6 billion yuan ($407.16 million), with some of its products sold to more than 40 countries and regions including the United States, Australia and Japan.

Boshan is the birthplace of China`s glass industry, and its glass products date back to the early period of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

Boshan has at least 50 artists and thousands of glass technicians working in the industry`s more than 100 companies.

These companies now produce 15 categories of glass products, covering more than 10,000 colors and shapes.

To enhance its industrial competitiveness, Boshan spent 1.3 billion yuan ($203.58 million) to build a China Ceramics and Glazed Glass Center to boost its ceramic industrial competitiveness.
