Prospect of Jiuquan luminous cup industry

The luminous cup is mainly produced in Jiuquan City, Gansu Province, with a history of more than 2,000 years. This vessel, which was used for drinking by China's ancient dignitaries, has become not only a tourist brand of China Silk Road, but also an industry. The production technology of luminous cups has been passed down for thousands of years, and the daily necessities that were originally enjoyed only by ancient princes and nobles have become the collections of ordinary people. A domestic factory can produce more than 60,000 luminous cups every year, earning more than 6 million yuan, which are mainly sold to Europe, America, Japan, Southeast Asia and other places. Gansu Province is a major province with luminous cups as tourism products, and there are nearly 20 luminous cup manufacturers in the province, which are located in Jiuquan and Dunhuang. The luminous cup factory attracted nearly 30,000 visitors.
