I hopped the slow train to Yingge the day after Dragon Boat Festival Day. The sky was cloudy, but no rain came, so it came as a perfect opportunity. I have told you of my love for the pottery city, and I will miss exploring it on a "regular" basis. The Pottery City is quite large, and I wandered around for over 5 hours picking up odds and ends...batik squares for pillows, a funny business card holder for my office desk, a tea tray and two small cups to remind me of my Beijing tea adventure, some inexpensive cotton tops for the summer, a new key chain with a scholar figure, silk purses, and a variety of shot glasses to add to C's collection. I could have bought garden pots, water wheels, Buddhas, gorgeous vases, jewelry, wood carvings and utensils, tea, and oceans of teapots and tea cups...impossible to carry home, but lovely to yearn over! I took some very strange pictures which do not do the area justice...but you will get the idea.
