1️⃣ Immersive pottery DIY
Pottery experience: The master teaches you hand in hand, and the clay is super healing from "rebellious" to "obedient"!
Paint pottery: Paint exclusive patterns, suitable for children 🪆 or couple souvenirs (⚠️ Wear dark clothes, clay is easy to splash!)
2️⃣ Rongchang Ceramic Museum (🆓)
Look at the pickle jars of the Song Dynasty and teapots of the Qing Dynasty, and the curator personally tells the secret of "Antao pickles do not bloom"
3️⃣ 🏮 Ancient style market (weekends/holidays only):
Pinch sugar figurines, paint facial makeup, intangible cultural heritage food stalls, and wear Hanfu to stroll around for more atmosphere

📷 Photo strategy
1️⃣ Pottery workshop 🪟 by the window
Backlight shooting of the side shadow of the pottery, close-up of the hands + splashing mud spots
2️⃣ Old kiln site red brick wall 🫙
Wear a plain long skirt and use pottery as a prop to take a cold literary photo.
3️⃣ National style market lantern street 🏮
Evening blue tone + warm yellow lanterns, dynamic capture of swinging skirts or holding candied haws

🍜 Local people's private collection 🧾
📍 Three unique ceramics:
Lamb covered noodles: Handmade noodles are as thin as paper, and the lamb soup is so fresh that it falls off the eyebrows
Yellow jelly: sour and spicy appetizer, with ceramic bowl photos are super textured
Braised goose wings: Old brand in the ancient town, gnawing and shopping in the market is super cool

🚗 Traffic guide
1️⃣ Self-driving: 1.5h from the main city of Chongqing, navigate to "Antao Town", and go directly to the Anfu toll station on the expressway
2️⃣ High-speed rail: Chongqing North → Rongchang North Station (30min), 15min by taxi to the town
3️⃣ Avoid pitfalls: Don't go around Rongchang City! It is more time-saving to go directly to the expressway.

🚨Tips:
1️⃣ Avoid Monday! Some workshops are closed, and the museum may also be closed
2️⃣ It takes about 2 weeks to fire pottery, so fill in your home address instead of the hotel.
