🏕️Travel Guide
1️⃣Longyao Street
The entire street is filled with pottery culture, with dragon kilns, Fengshui ponds, and many unglazed pottery jars 🏺 and creative cultural shops ✨
Handicraft experience: Make a small cup by hand at the Zisha Museum, it's incredibly satisfying!
Next to it, you can also gain knowledge at the Song Kiln Exhibition Hall and the Pottery Museum.
I also saw the Dragon Kiln Opening folk performance and tasted the Kiln Workers' Feast.
2️⃣Little train on the clouds 🚂
There are many themed exteriors, and I love the red and white one the most! Outside the window are bamboo forests and tea plantations, perfect for cinematic photos.
3️⃣Zizai Valley 🏕️
With clear streams and tranquil valleys, you can camp here 🏕️, which is the perfect way to relax on vacation.
Many hot air balloons 🪂 are also set up by the Blue Crystal Stream, making for great photos!
4️⃣Birds' Rendezvous 🕊️
The most surprising stop was listening to a sky dance party 🎶
Watching flocks of birds soar overhead, people and birds coexisting harmoniously. "I want to see what you see" was truly touching!
