Liling, Hunan｜"The Millennium Porcelain Capital, Liling of the World", bring your companions to pick up porcelain! .

📍Liling City in Hunan Province is known as the "National Porcelain Capital". When it comes to porcelain, everyone is familiar with Jingdezhen. Liling porcelain is mainly used for foreign trade, so it is not well known. This is actually a very amazing place. The export scale of Liling ceramics is about 3 billion, and one out of every four ceramic cups in the world is produced in Liling👍🏻. The county was established in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, abolished in the Sui Dynasty, and re-established in the early Tang Dynasty. The "Famous Places" said that "there is a tomb in the north of the county, and there is a well under the tomb. The spring gushed out like sweet wine, so the county was named after it." Liling, which has not changed its name for more than 2,000 years, turned out to be so hidden. ⭐Game guide ​ Liling's three treasures: porcelain, fireworks, and stir-fried dishes ✅The first stop is the Liling Ceramic Museum, a bowl-shaped building 🥰, which houses 6,000-year-old ceramic bowls, Han Dynasty pottery jars, 🔺National First-Class Cultural Relic Underglaze Five-Colored Lentil Double-Bird Bottle, which won the gold medal at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition held in San Francisco, USA in 1915 🏅. Since then, Liling ceramics have been popular in China and all over the world. The national first-class cultural relic, the hollow dragon and phoenix palace lantern, took 1 year and 8 months to complete. When you see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it is actually porcelain. There are three Lingling Pagodas, a national first-class cultural relic, carved in total. One is displayed in the Hunan Hall of the Great Hall of the People, one is displayed in the Hunan Provincial Light Industry Hall, and the other is displayed in the Liling Ceramics Museum. The craftsmanship is simply amazing! After visiting the museum, I realized that ceramics involve a wide range of fields and play an immeasurable role. ✅The second stop is to pick up porcelain. As the name suggests, it is really to pick up. There are all kinds of porcelain, with slight flaws but generally not visible. Some of them are charged but the upper limit is 15. I feel like putting it in a burlap bag as long as it is not too heavy. 😄, 📍 Navigate to Qingzizhong and go to Linling Ceramics (Guangming may not be found). There are many types here and the scale is large. There are also many ceramic factories near Zhifu Road in Wanyi Village. The ceramic factories are not concentrated, so there is no need to run around. The recommendations are very comprehensive. ✅The third stop is Liling Kiln, which is the best-preserved ancient porcelain factory. You can see the stepped kiln, dragon kiln, etc. and understand the whole process of making porcelain. But for laymen, this place does not have a deep impression. Surprisingly, there is Weishan Scenic Area nearby, which is very beautiful. ✅Mashi - the hometown of Li Ting, the ancestor of fireworks, is also the dividing line between Liling, Liuyang and Pingxiang. Li Ting invented firecrackers 1,400 years ago. Since then, Liuyang, Pingxiang and Liling have become the "Golden Triangle" for fireworks production. You can buy fireworks here and set them off in designated places (you can ask the store owner for the specific location). ​✅Then visit the most beautiful academy in Hunan - Lujiang Academy, see the ancient camphor tree from 1510 where Wang Yangming had a dialogue, climb the Wangjiang Tower, 1 km away is Liling Gate, behind it is the commercial street, and then go for a stroll at Lujiang Bridge, which is really pleasant. ​ 🎫Tickets: Liling Ceramics Museum🆓 is open to the public free of charge. You are not allowed to enter from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. It is open as usual after 1:00 p.m. No tickets are required for other places (you need to bring your mainland China ID card) ​ 🍛 Food ​ 1⃣️Be sure to try several types of noodles, the varieties are particularly good. I once drove more than 60 kilometers just to eat the noodles there. ​2⃣️Xiandu spicy sauce duck is delicious, and there is also minced duck 3⃣️Stir-fried meat with soup is one of the three treasures. ​ ​ Picking porcelain is recommended for self-driving tours because you really can't stop holding it 😄😄😄 ​ OK, it’s another day of learning, I wish you all have fun 😁 ​ ​ ​ ​
