☘️The hotel receptionist suggested visiting the sculpture porcelain factory if I wanted to buy souvenirs. So after breakfast, I took a bus there.
☘️I hoped to explore before it got too crowded, but I arrived too early. Many studios and shops were closed, creating a quiet and deserted atmosphere. However, this gave me a unique strolling experience, so I slowed down and leisurely wandered among the stalls that were already open.
☘️The stalls here weren't as solemn as those in museums; instead, they were full of lively atmosphere and vibrant creativity. What attracted my attention most were the rows of miniature blue and white porcelain pieces. Neatly arranged on shelves, they were crafted into various small bottles and jars, some round like pearls, others slender and elongated. Each piece is exquisitely crafted and adorable, its glaze gleaming warmly in the morning light, pleasing to the eye and making you want to take them all home.
☘️Besides traditional porcelain, the modern creative ornaments here are incredibly diverse and dazzling. The shelves are crammed with all sorts of uniquely shaped trinkets: adorable animal porcelain sculptures, colorful abstract figures, and many figurines and cartoon characters incorporating popular elements. These works are unconventional, full of youthful imagination, making it impossible not to stop and admire them.
☘️Passing through the porcelain section, the roadside jewelry stalls are equally captivating. Colorful glass beads and crystal-clear gems are strung into various bracelets and pendants. Picking up a string and holding it in your palm, the beads are round and smooth, the colors refreshing, possessing both traditional classical charm and modern fashion sense; each little accessory reveals the artisan's ingenuity.
☘️Although the time spent at the sculpture porcelain factory was short and I wasn't able to visit all the shops, the unique tranquility of the early morning, coupled with the exquisite and creative displays before me, made me feel very comfortable and reluctant to leave.
