No crowds like in first-tier cities No expensive attraction tickets Prices seem to have stayed the same as ten years ago Overall, Yixing gives the impression of being delicious, fun, and affordable 👀Please note: Yixing's attractions are far apart, so driving is the best way to explore! We chose to stay in the city center. Here's our packed two-day itinerary: Day 1️⃣ 🍋Mini Great Wall Free🩵🩵🩵🩵 You can see a panoramic view of Yixing from the top of the mountain. You can drive to the summit, and there are parking lots in front of the mountain gate. Be sure to start climbing from the side gate of the mountain gate, otherwise, you'll have to take a long detour. 🍋Taoerchang (Ceramic Factory No. 2) Free🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 Not very big overall, with architectural design by Kengo Kuma. If the sky is blue and there are few people, you can take amazing photos in minutes! There are some creative shops in the back, which are great for browsing. 🍋Shushan Ancient South Street Free🩵🩵🩵🩵 A very narrow ancient street with workshops of purple clay masters.
