🗺️ Itinerary summary: China Ceramic Museum▶️Fuzhou Nong▶️Taoyangli Scenic Area▶️Sanbao Village
-
1️⃣9:00-10:00 China Ceramic Museum
🕣: 9:00-16:30, closed on Mondays
🎫: 🆓 (You must book in advance on 🍊!!!)
A must-visit spot in Jingdezhen, the museum houses over 50,000 cultural relics, including the recently famous 'Silent Buddha' 💧. When it's crowded, you need to queue separately, and the exhibits are all very exquisite, worthy of the title 'Porcelain Capital'! It's recommended to come early, otherwise it's too crowded.
-
🚗4 kilometers
-
2️⃣10:20-10:50 Fuzhou Nong
A great place for breakfast, the alley is small, but it's all delicious food along the way. My friends tried Fangfang's boiled food and fried dough sticks wrapped in glutinous rice, both were good. I had beef offal noodles🍜, chosen randomly from a small shop, the soup base was quite fresh, and Tanpo's dumplings were also not bad.
-
🚶🏽500 meters
-
3️⃣11:00-13:00 Taoyangli Scenic Area
🕣: 8:30-22:30
🎫: 53 (Book and purchase on 🍊, half price for the elderly and children, free for Jingdezhen citizens)
Equivalent to a historical and cultural resort area, covering 108 ancient alleys that have been around for a thousand years, including the famous Imperial Kiln Museum, Longzhu Pavilion, etc. There are also homestays, coffee shops, ceramic workshops, restaurants, 🍺 bars, etc. You could stroll around for a whole day, but we only had two hours due to our tight schedule, and it was still fulfilling.
-
🚗4 kilometers
-
4️⃣13:30-15:30 Taoxi Chuan Cultural and Creative District
🎫: 🆓, no reservation needed
An artistic district, the shops inside are more literary. There is a market from Friday to Sunday, with many artists setting up stalls, each stall is as exquisite as an exhibition, and because many are original handmade products🍶, the prices are higher than ordinary porcelain factories. If you find something you like, be sure to bargain! My friend liked a set of cups, and bargained from 360 down to 280! PS: There is an art gallery inside, 🎫40, worth visiting if interested.
-
🚗6 kilometers
-
5️⃣16:30-19:00 Sanbao Village
It's quite far from the city center, surrounded by green mountains⛰️, perfect for photography, and also a gathering place for artistic souls. There are many hidden gem shops, such as 9494 Aesthetic Space, and the meals are mostly exquisite. However, there is some controversy over Sanbao Village, because it's too 'Instagrammable', it's very crowded, leading to hours of queuing at some shops. Plus, the attractions are quite scattered and not very suitable for walking, so the overall experience might not be very good. Additionally, you can rent electric scooters🛵 at the entrance of the village.

Yaoli Porcelain Tea Ancient Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
【Yaoli Ancient Town - the hometown of blue and white porcelain, a paradise in the misty rain】
🌟Yaoli Ancient Town, a small town hidden in the mist, is the hometown of blue and white porcelain and also a haven for your soul. Here, you can feel the weight of history and the tranquility of the Jiangnan water town.
🌏Location: Yaoli Ancient Town is located in Fuliang County, Jingdezhen, more than 50 kilometers away from Jingdezhen city. Whether by public transport or self-driving, you can easily reach it.
💰Tickets: Yaoli Ancient Town is free to enter and does not charge an entrance fee. However, if you want to visit other attractions, such as Hanxi Village, Porcelain Palace, etc., you need to buy a pass, which costs 150 yuan.
🏠Accommodation: There are many guesthouses and farmhouses in the ancient town for you to choose from. You can choose according to your preferences and needs. We recommend you to stay in the ancient town for one night to deeply experience the local life.
🌅Travel guide: Yaoli Ancient Town is not big, but it is full of scenery. You can stroll in the streets paved with bluestone, and you can see hundreds of Ming and Qing Huizhou-style ancient buildings by the mountains and rivers everywhere. If you like history and culture, don't miss it here.
There are two very special local foods: alkali water cake and bitter gourd tofu, with unique flavors, almost every restaurant has them. Remember to try it!
The next morning, if you catch the misty rain season, be sure to get up early. Because the sky is waiting for the misty rain, the clouds are misty, the white walls and black tiles of the Huizhou-style buildings, as if in a dreamland.
In short, Yaoli Ancient Town is a quiet and niche tourist destination, suitable for people who like history, culture and natural scenery. Here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also let your soul relax and heal. Let's embark on this journey to find the hometown of blue and white porcelain together!🎉🎉🎉
Jiangxi hides a small and niche thousand-year-old ancient town, which not only has the charm of Jiangnan, but also allows free entry.
Jiangxi is a place full of poetic and picturesque scenery. The local tourism resources are very rich, including the famous Lushan Mountain with its unique and beautiful scenery, Wugong Mountain, a holy land for hiking with stunning views of the sea of clouds, Sanqing Mountain, like a Chinese ink painting, and Huangling, the most beautiful village in China. Many scenic spots are worth visiting, and there are also some overlooked niche travel destinations with their own unique charm. Today, let's take a look at a lesser-known thousand-year-old ancient town in Jiangxi, which retains the original Jiangnan style and is free of charge. It is worth a visit.
This ancient town is Yao Li Ancient Town, located in the eastern part of Fuliang County, Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province, at the junction of Qimen, Xiuning, Wuyuan, and Fuliang counties. It is 50 kilometers away from the downtown area of Jingdezhen and Fuliang County. It occupies a very advantageous geographical location and has a history of more than two thousand years. It has been a prosperous commercial port since ancient times. Nowadays, the ancient town is rich in Gan-style architecture and tourism resources, and is known as the "origin of porcelain, hometown of tea, and sea of forests".
Yao Li Ancient Town is named after Jingdezhen porcelain kilns and is one of the origins of ceramic handicrafts. It has a history and culture of more than two thousand years. Nowadays, there are many ancient buildings left behind. Walking on the old streets of the ancient town, you can see the traces left by the years. Stepping on the stone road, it feels like traveling back in time. Wearing ancient costumes to take photos is very picturesque. Not only that, it is also a red relic. Comrade Chen Yi lived here and guided the reorganization work of the New Fourth Army, known as the "Yao Li Reorganization". Now an exhibition hall has been established, which is a red education base for accepting the enlightenment of revolutionary ideology and carrying out revolutionary traditional learning.
Yao Li ancient town is full of exotic Jiangnan style, and the scenery here is intoxicating. We can enjoy steep mountains, green streams, and simple villages. During the day, it is like a landscape in a Chinese ink painting, and at night, the lights are brilliant, with the charm of an ancient town. It is super beautiful for taking photos. The Yao River runs through the town, with clear water and no pollution, slowly flowing down. Surrounding it are ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties and distant mountains, forming a beautiful Jiangnan ink painting, which is very shocking and seems like a fairyland on earth.
In the ancient town, there are various delicious foods and authentic Jiangxi specialties. Whether you taste them locally or give them as gifts, they are all unforgettable. In addition, there is no admission fee to visit Yao Li ancient town, and you can enter and play for free. It is a national four-star scenic spot with complete humanistic landscape, natural scenery, and revolutionary sites, and has high historical and cultural value. In Jiangxi, Yao Li ancient town is a niche travel destination, but its beauty and charm are shocking. The scenery, ancient architecture, and food here are all worth exploring and tasting. It is a great place to check in.
Shangrao, Jiangxi
Rated by 'National Geographic' as one of the most beautiful ancient towns in China, how extraordinary it is~
📍Yao Li, the millennium-old town
Located in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi
There lies a relatively unknown ancient town
Yet it is very important in the history of world ceramics
It is known as the 'Source of the Porcelain Capital' - Yao Li Ancient Town
This place is actually the one depicted in Vincent Fang's 'Blue and White Porcelain'
It turns out that without visiting Yao Li
One would never understand what 'the color of the sky after the rain' truly means
The broad and tranquil Yao River flows gently
The river water is so clear that the bottom can be seen
Aquatic plants, pebbles, and fish at the bottom
Are clearly visible to the eye
The bright bluestone paths
The mottled Ming and Qing ancient houses
The broken wooden doors
The still exquisite wood and stone carvings
Are all footprints of time
The reflections of the ancient houses on both banks are picturesque
Slowly spreading with the river water
As if washing away the mottled history of the ancient town for a thousand years
The tall ancient trees on both banks
Set off the ancient town with a lingering charm
Take the round and cute Eggy on a trip during the May Day holiday
Its company heals the heart
Strolling in Yao Li Ancient Town after the rain
Mountains and clouds are misty
A thin mist rises from the Yao River
The whole town seems to have entered a fairyland
Or as if walking into a landscape painting
This millennium-old town hidden in the mountains
Is the favor and exception of time
Time carries history forward
Only Yao Li stands alone outside the mundane world
Frozen by time
Becoming a haven for people's souls in this noisy world
Dreaming of Jiangnan is but a fleeting dream in Fuliang~ The ancient town of Yao has been around for a thousand years
Jiangxi Jingdezhen's Fuliang County was established during the Western Han Dynasty, and to this day, it has a history of over two thousand years. The entire ancient town is situated south of Xiangshan Mountain and north of Lion Mountain, with the Yao River flowing through it, creating a geographical environment surrounded by mountains and water, which makes the ancient town appear even more peaceful and clear.

Jingdezhen Ceramics Museum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The two-day and two-night guide to Jingdezhen is here
🏺The two-day and two-night guide to Jingdezhen is here🔥
🚄First of all, we played in Nanchang for two days before going to Jingdezhen, so on the first day in Jingdezhen, we arrived at noon, went to the hotel to drop off our luggage, and then officially started our Jingdezhen trip🚗
After leaving the hotel, our first stop was directly to Oji Dapaidang! Oji Dapaidang is really super delicious! Even us Cantonese people had waiters directly serving us the lang bowl. Their crawfish is especially tasty but super spicy🥵 The chicken rack is also delicious😋 This one is not that spicy, recommended👍
Then we took a taxi directly from Oji Dapaidang to the China Ceramic Museum🚗 The Ceramic Museum is where the Speechless Buddha is located. It is recommended to take the elevator directly to the top floor and then visit from top to bottom. The exhibition hall is quite large, and it takes about two to three hours to visit🕑
For dinner, we went to the Jiujie Town next to Taoyang New Village, picked a random restaurant but the taste was also good. After dinner, you can walk directly to Taoyang New Village to buy the bracelet I've been longing for!☔️ It happened to be raining heavily that day, and the weather was particularly cold, which forced us to make a quick decision. Try to buy bracelets here! I saw some in the Sculpture Porcelain Factory the next day, but they didn't have as many styles and were not as nice as those in Taoyang New Village (remember to bargain when buying cups in Taoyang New Village)
The next day we came early to eat Fan's Beef Bone Noodles, which are especially spicy🥵 Everyone can try a serving and order more if they can handle it. The clay pot soup is quite fresh🥣
After eating and drinking, we went to the Sculpture Porcelain Factory. After a casual stroll, we found a shop here to do glassblowing🔥 It's actually not particularly difficult, there will be a teacher to guide you.☔️ Mainly because it was raining and very cold on the two days we went, this kind of indoor activity is the most suitable🧊 (Notes on glassblowing are in another post on the homepage📒 Interested can flip through it
In the afternoon, we went to Taoyang Li and the Imperial Kiln Museum. The Imperial Kiln Museum is inside the Taoyang Li scenic area and does not require a ticket🎫 but you must buy a ticket to enter Taoyang Li...
In the evening, we went to Fuzhou Alley, and speaking of this place, I highly recommend the youtiao rice cake here, it's really super delicious! Regretted that I only bought one when I entered, and after dinner, there were none left, the whole street was sold out...
☔️ We didn't go to Sanbao Village and the Porcelain Palace because of the rain and the cold. On the third morning, we took the high-speed train and left🚄, Jingdezhen, I think I will come back again
After visiting Jingdezhen 6 times, here are the latest tips to avoid pitfalls in Jingdezhen
Jingdezhen is world-famous as the 'Porcelain Capital',
known for 'a city of porcelain, half a city of kilns',
with an unparalleled number of porcelain kilns in the world.
If you're planning a trip to Jingdezhen,
here are the latest 20 tips to avoid pitfalls shared with everyone～
.
1. Friends going to Jingdezhen can take the high-speed train directly there, or fly to Jingdezhen or Nanchang and then take the high-speed train to Jingdezhen.
2. Friends heading to Yaoli Ancient Town for the azure misty rain don't need to buy a ticket; don't directly purchase the 150 yuan pass as it's purely a waste of money. Buy it when you reach a spot that requires ticket verification.
3. The Imperial Kiln Museum (more beautiful at night) was designed by architect Zhu Pei and was named one of the 'Top 10 Museum Buildings in the World in 2020'. They don't allow entry after 9:30 pm, and after 10 pm, the most popular photo spot is not crowded.
4. Bingding Wood Kiln is quite small, but the architecture is still beautiful. It's far from the city center, so consider the long journey before going. It's hard to hail a taxi in the mountains on the way back, so it's recommended to drive or hire a car.
5. Yaoli Ancient Town is quite crowded, not as niche as written online, and rather commercialized. However, it's quite beautiful if you go early in the morning. For dining, choose a restaurant by the river.
6. The prices at Taoxi Chuan ceramics are on the expensive side. It's better to visit in the evening. Night market: every Saturday and Sunday 16:00-21:30; Taoxi Chuan Art Museum: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-20:00 (closed on Mondays, tickets required).
7. China Ceramic Museum opening hours: 9:00—17:00, closed on Mondays. Among the many museums in Jingdezhen, it has the richest collection and best expresses the entire historical context of the thousand-year-old Porcelain Capital.
8. The tea gardens in Hanxi Village, Fuliang, Jingdezhen are very beautiful, with the 'Lamp of the Earth' niche art exhibition, but remember to eat well before going as there's basically nothing to eat there.
9. Friends who like photography and want to capture the uninhabited internet-famous bridge in Yaoli Ancient Town should either get up early or navigate to Baishita Village Committee, where there are many similar bridges that are mostly deserted and very pristine.
10. Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Expo Area ticket: 95 yuan/person, opening hours: 8:00-17:00. If you have enough time, you can visit ancient porcelain workshops, Qing dynasty town kilns, and Ming dynasty gourd kilns.
11. If you want to experience pottery making, go to the Sculpture Porcelain Factory, where there are many places to do pottery.
12. If you want to browse markets, it's recommended to go to Lotte Market, which now requires a ticket. The quality of the stallholders is higher, and the prices are relatively cheaper. You can find some cute trinkets. The opening hours are every Saturday from 9:00 to 12:00.
13. When in Jingdezhen, you must try the deep-fried dough sticks wrapped in glutinous rice. The best-tasting ones in Jingdezhen are at Chengxin Fried Dough Stick Shop, 3.5 yuan each, worth a try.
14. When visiting Jingdezhen, you must experience kiln making and glass blowing. There are places for kiln making near Yaoli, Sanbao, and the Ceramic University.
15. If you like to stroll leisurely, you can go to Sanbao Village. Sanbao Village is not big, and the photogenic spots are mainly near 'Sanbao Art Museum', with blue and white porcelain zebra crossings and pottery wall, which are great for photos.
A two-day and one-night roam in Jingdezhen, where the sky is blue as if waiting for the misty rain
A leisurely trip mainly for playing with clay and buying kiln ceramics
🚄 Ctrip ticket purchase: Hongqiao-Jingdezhen North Station
There are many people taking taxis in Jingdezhen, so get a rental car right after getting off, because the transportation in Jingdezhen is not particularly convenient, we chose to rent a car (Ctrip car rental, you can choose the pickup location, car model, and time)
After dropping off the luggage:
Jingdezhen China Ceramic Museum You need to make a reservation a few days in advance, it is recommended to hire a guide, it's super big inside, you can look around for a long time, there are many exquisite ceramics and paintings, and there was also a Sanxingdui special exhibition
Xiaolechuan private kitchen For dinner, we had the famous Xiaolechuan, the taste is super good, even if you can't eat spicy food, you can still enjoy, but you must take a number online in advance, it is recommended to do so at five o'clock
Taoxi Chuan Cultural and Creative District In the evening, you can stroll around Taoxi Chuan, there are many art students setting up stalls, each piece of porcelain is unique
Crystal Pu Di Hotel (Jingdezhen Flagship Store) Stayed here for both days, the price is right, the location is convenient
D2-Play with clay and make ceramics
Made cups and glasses at Fang Xun Tao Yi
Spent the whole day, the service attitude is super good, they will provide help if you don't know how to do it, and they encourage you to play for a while
In the evening, visited Jingdezhen Ceramic Factory (Xinchang Dong Road Store) where you can buy some cups for decoration
Sanbao Village in Jingdezhen has a unique charm that is mesmerizing
I recommend taking a taxi to the Sanbao Art Museum and start a top-to-bottom tour, checking off each scenic spot along the way🚕! This is a thoughtful suggestion from a kind-hearted sister.
Route: Sanbao Art Museum→Sanbao Road→9494→Leaving Sanbao Village🚶
About car rental: Since we didn't stay long in Sanbao Village, we didn't rent a car. If you're short on time and only plan to take photos and check in without arranging other activities, there is indeed no need to rent a car🚗.
About photography:
Sanbao Art Museum🖼: You can take photos on both sides of the street, but be careful for your safety~
Tao Kan Theater🎭: The 'Jingdezhen' wall made of ceramic pieces is a must-visit spot! The surrounding area is quite large, offering a high success rate for good photos📷.
9494🎈: The space is narrow, and it's often crowded, but the photo results are excellent.

Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Museum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Expo Area: Look north to the Forbidden City, and south to the ancient kiln
Here, there are lush green trees, serene bamboo forests, fragrant grass, and brimming pond waters; deep within the bamboo forest, a winding wooden bridge, on the island in the lake, calligraphy, painting, antiques, the fragrance of tea, the melody of the guqin, all found in the Purple Bamboo Academy. If it weren't for the colorful ceramic and pottery shard mosaics on the bridge piers forming water channels, one might think it's a tranquil and elegant park. Upon closer inspection, the signs, street lamps, plaques, and couplets are all fired from ceramic, which is just the prelude to entering the Ancient Kiln Expo Area.
Walking along the path, one frequently encounters porcelain patterns pieced together from broken shards, elegant and beautiful, too lovely to tread upon.
Plowing and pottery making, casually embedded in the small paths and green fields are blue and white porcelain dragon jars and large vases. Only upon seeing the majestic statue of Tong Bin does one officially enter the Ancient Kiln Expo Area, and thus enter the world of porcelain. Blue and white porcelain elements can be seen everywhere; on the ground, in the water, in front of halls, behind houses...; porcelain lamps, porcelain columns, porcelain paintings, porcelain characters, porcelain plaques, porcelain jars, porcelain vases...; even the trash bins and restrooms are all made of blue and white porcelain.
Porcelain Music Pavilion, an antique building in the middle of Lake Ming, where a group of girls dressed in ceramic-patterned clothing play one melodious tune after another, with clear flute sounds, soft xiao tones, lingering huqin melodies, deep drum beats, accompanied by the ding-dong of chime bells, and many more instruments whose names are unknown, all made of porcelain! A porcelain music feast, truly deserving of the title 'The Charm of Wondrous Porcelain' (inscribed by Qian Qichen)!
The Ancient Kiln Area includes ancient kilns from different dynasties—dragon kilns, mantou kilns, gourd kilns, town kilns, lion kilns, and imperial kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The reconstructed kilns still maintain the scale and pattern of the ancient kilns, delving into them one can appreciate the wisdom of the ancients, the hardship of porcelain firing, and the cultural heritage.
In the Handicraft Workshop Area, one can watch artisans up close as they shape, refine, paint, and carve porcelain, witnessing the entire process of porcelain making beyond just kiln firing. This place gathers many inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, the real masters!
Ceramics is an art of heritage, requiring hundreds, thousands of years, a salute to those 'ordinary people' who silently pass down the art of ceramics, the culture of ceramics!

Strolling through Jingdezhen
A thousand-year-old porcelain capital, a must-visit in this lifetime! Just go when you say it!
🚉Transportation guide:
High-speed train🚄 Hangzhou Fuyang Station to Jingdezhen North, a taxi ride of about 20 minutes to the city center, Didi costs 22 yuan. Most of the scenic spots in the city can be reached by bus, except for Fuliang Porcelain Palace, Hanxi Village, and Yaoli Ancient Town, which are far away and not recommended for bus travel, too time-consuming!
City buses🚌 can get a ride card on Alipay, which makes it very convenient to travel by scanning the code, and Didi is also available!
🏨Hotel environment:
The first night stay at Lefeng Hotel (Taoxi Chuan store), right opposite Taoxi Chuan, very convenient!
The second and third nights stay at Taoyang Li Pear Garden Hotel, the hotel is located in the Taoyang Li cultural and historical district, and it is also convenient to stroll around. Fuzhou Alley, Imperial Kiln Museum, Imperial Kiln Scenic Alley (where you can check in at Zhongshuge) are all nearby. Opposite the hotel is Changjiang and Zhushan Bridge, it's nice to take a walk in the morning or evening!
If you have requirements for dining around, it is recommended to stay near People's Square and Zhejiang Road for convenience.
🍽Dining recommendations:
Ouji's big stall and Going Home for Dinner are worth recommending. Ouji's big stall recommends small yellow fish, chicken feet, crab legs, and tofu pudding! Going Home for Dinner has many branches, the Zhejiang Road store is too popular, we checked in at the Ancient Kiln store which is relatively better!
The 8 Degree Kitchen downstairs of Lefeng Hotel is also good, stir-fried beef and tofu pudding are recommended!
During the period, we also ate at some small shops, but the taste is really not as good as these!
Youtiao (fried dough sticks) and mochi, beef bone powder are recommended at Tangji Beef Bone Powder (near Taoxi Chuan)
🗓Itinerary arrangement:
Arrived in the evening on the first day, stayed at Lefeng Hotel, had dinner at Ouji's big stall, and then visited the night scene of Taoxi Chuan🌃
The next morning, checked in at Tangji Beef Bone Powder for breakfast, then strolled around Taoxi Chuan during the day, took a taxi to Sanbao Village, it is recommended to take a sightseeing car from the service center, or rent an electric car. We took a taxi to the Sanbao Village Museum, then strolled out leisurely, personally I think there is no special meaning except for taking photos and checking in. In the afternoon, checked in at the Ancient Kiln Folklore Expo Area, tickets can be purchased online, and it is still worth a visit! After coming out, take the bus two stops to Going Home for Dinner (Ancient Kiln store) for a meal, not crowded and no need to queue! (Stay at Taoyang Li Pear Garden Hotel)
The next morning, we originally planned to go to the Porcelain Palace, searched online and it was 1 hour by bus, prepared to go before departure, my son searched on his phone and said it would take 2 hours, so after comparing the two phones for a long time, I saw online comments that what I searched was the Imperial Kiln Porcelain Palace, not the Fuliang Xinping Porcelain Palace, so here is a special reminder, to navigate to the Porcelain Palace, search for Xinping Porcelain Palace! Because it was too far, we gave up on the Porcelain Palace and went to the Imperial Street Scenic Alley around the hotel, but because it was too early, there were not many people on the street, and Zhongshuge was not open yet (opens at 10 am). The surrounding area is a bit messy due to demolition and construction.
After strolling, take the bus to the Ceramic Museum, which needs to be booked in advance. When there are few people, it is recommended to book one day in advance, like during the Spring Festival and other holidays, the earlier the better, to avoid not getting a spot. The Ceramic Museum is still worth a visit, and it requires queuing to take photos with the speechless Buddha. Basically, 2 hours is enough!
After lunch, go back to the hotel to rest, and walk to the Imperial Kiln South Gate at 4 pm, the Imperial Kiln Museum needs to be booked in advance (free), but entering the Imperial Kiln Museum requires purchasing a ticket for Taoyang Li. In the evening, you can see both the daytime and nighttime views of the Imperial Kiln, worth a visit, the scenic area is not as big as imagined. After the tour, ordered stir-fried noodles and side dishes at a nearby small shop, the stir-fried noodles were good, but the side dishes were a pitfall!
Finally, I want to say that the overall feeling is okay, the impression of the city: Jingdezhen is a city with a rich cultural and historical heritage, the design of the attractions is good, but the overall construction of the city does not seem to be consistent enough, for example, we saw many old houses in the old city being demolished, shouldn't these be renovated and protected? The sanitary condition on the streets is also not satisfactory. While protecting the relics, it is necessary to plan well for the development of the city!
Ancient Kiln Folklore Expo Area
Beautiful environment, comfortable feeling
You can buy a package ticket on Ctrip, you can experience the ancient method of making bowls (not far from the entrance)
There are also places where you can experience pulling embryos in the ancient kiln, with a variety of choices
I wandered around the Ancient Kiln Folklore Expo Area for half a morning. If there are no other schedules, you can stay for a day, a very quiet place.
Listen to the sound of water, look at the trees, experience the slow-paced life
