It was a wonderful experience. We were all immersed in digging in the clay and sculpting pottery. The day flew by. Many thanks to Mr. Wang, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, for his patient guidance.

(You can make cats, but also cups or vases, anything you want!) Our trip to the Jingtiancun village was absolutely amazing. We were met at the entrance of the village by one of the hosts, and he took us deep inside the old village along beautiful old houses, small temples, and pottery manufacturing houses. The pottery making itself was super fun, and Master Zhao helped us with a lot of patience. He's a true master and it was incredible to meet him and his friends and family. You pay for the pottery experience, but what made this experience worth remembering was the hospitality, the sweet people, and the master craftmanship. Highly highly recommended!

The pottery master was patient and passionate, making this a truly unique and authentic experience. I can't wait to receive my finished pottery piece by mail! 😻 Although it's about a 45-minute drive from the city, it's definitely worth a visit! ✨ You can experience traditional pottery making and immerse yourself in the village's cultural atmosphere. The host was very enthusiastic, showing me around the village and even preparing dinner. The pottery master was very patient, carefully sharing his skills. Looking forward to receiving my finished pottery piece by mail! 😻

Our family of four booked the Pottery Village online the night before. It was an authentic experience. We visited the centuries-old dragon kiln, made our own tile cats, and enjoyed the simple, traditional craftsmanship. We also had lunch in theowner's courtyard. The other travellers were very friendly. Highly recommended!
