Liling Ceramic Valley | Beautiful Liling, the Ceramic Valley of China
Compared to Jingdezhen, I prefer this porcelain city recommended by National Geographic.
When it comes to porcelain, everyone first thinks of Jingdezhen.
Compared to this city full of Eastern aesthetics,
I love this lesser-known treasure of a porcelain city in Hunan - Liling more.
With its profound cultural heritage and buildings of various shapes,
Additionally, this city also has the reputation of being the hometown of fireworks.
It is indeed a place worthy of being listed by National Geographic.

Liling is a stopover I passed by on my way to Xiangxi, a leisurely and slow small city. The nightfall Lujang Bridge and the people coming and going on the top scholar island, the Lujang Bridge, a building from the Republic of China period, has become a scenery. People in Liling can take a walk and enjoy the cool on the bridge, or admire it from a distance in the park by the Lujang River.

Liling, an ancient small city with historical heritage, is built along the river. Many years ago, a family of four had been there, and also went to the Ceramic Expo. At that time, it was because of the love of raising flowers to buy flower pots, to go to the ceramic market to pick up ceramics, the kind that merchants don't want, enjoying alone.

Hunan Liling | Zhuangyuanzhou, a less-known self-driving tourist destination around Changsha
The name of Zhuangyuanzhou comes from the Jiaqing 'Unified Records', which says: 'The island is in front of the county gate, Liling produces the top scholar', hence the name 'Zhuangyuan Fangzhou'.

It was a vegetable garden in the Ming Dynasty and was turned into a mulberry garden in the Qing Dynasty.
