P.
(c) Just a thirty-minute train ride from Taipei, you will arrive at Yingge, the pottery center of Taiwan.
If you are interested in the history of ceramic making, or want to have a go at making your own pottery, a
visit to Yingge should be on your to-do list.
Ceramic making in the area dates back nearly two hundred years. The pottery industry was based
around Jianshanpu Road, which is the modern day "Old Street." Today, the Old Street is a lively street full of
over one hundred stores. Don't forget to come here and pick up a souvenir.
While in Yingge, a visit to the Ceramics museum is a must, where you will learn about Taiwanese
ceramic making and see beautiful works of artists from around the world. If you love ceramics, the town
even has its own festival every October.
No trip to Yingge is complete without taking a DIY class. In a DIY class, you take step by step through
the process of making and decorating your own masterpiece - anything from a cup, a vase, to a beautiful
mosaic picture.
You will not be disappointed with a trip to Yingge and if you go on the weekend the busy Old Street
will give you a view into both the modern and traditional life of the town.
