Yixing (simplified Chinese: 宜兴; traditional Chinese: 宜興; pinyin: Yíxīng; Pronounced='ee-shing') is a county-level city within the prefecture-level city of Wuxi in Jiangsu province, in eastern China with a population of 1.3 million. It is well-known for its Yixing clay and the pottery -- especially the "zisha"-style teapots -- made from the clay. Administratively it is part of the city of Wuxi and is a mere 2 hour drive from the international airport of Shanghai.
