A must-have from Central China: the "Gentleman of Porcelain"! The kiln-transformed beauty of Yuzhou Jun porcelain is truly captivating at first sight~
🏛️ Two must-visit spots for porcelain lovers:
① Jun Official Kiln Site Museum: The Northern Song Dynasty official kiln site is absolutely stunning! Inside the glass display cases, you can see thousand-year-old porcelain shards with glazes transitioning from sky blue to begonia red. You can also watch artisans demonstrate pottery throwing on-site, perfectly illustrating the phrase "one color into the kiln, a myriad of colors out"✨
② Shenhou Ancient Town: The Ming and Qing-era old streets are home to numerous Jun porcelain shops. Be sure to visit the stores of intangible cultural heritage inheritors, where you can purchase handcrafted tea sets and ornaments. The shop owners often share fascinating kiln transformation stories, making the experience unforgettable~
💡 Tips for choosing quality porcelain:
Check the glaze: High-quality Jun porcelain has a smooth glaze with naturally intricate kiln-transformed patterns. Listen to the sound: Gently tap the porcelain; a clear and melodious sound indicates better quality. For beginners, small tea sets are recommended—they're practical and easy to carry!
🛏️ Convenient accommodation for your porcelain tour:
Highly recommend 7 Days Premium (Xuchang Yuzhou Bus Station Pangdonglai Store)! After exploring the ancient town and shopping for Jun porcelain, it's just a 20-minute drive back. The free parking lot is perfect for storing your porcelain purchases. The rooms feature zero-pressure mattresses, ensuring a good rest after a tiring day. Plus, it's only a 5-minute walk to Pangdonglai, where you can pick up some souvenirs. The location is unbeatable~
Bringing home a piece of Jun porcelain is the perfect way to complete your Yuzhou trip! This porcelain-filled journey is absolutely worth planning ❤️
