New experiences added again! Now you can open clams to make pearl jewelry

I've discovered another great place to take kids on the weekend. I took Chen Ge to learn about pearl culture, open shells to collect pearls, and it was so interesting! 📍OSM Pearl Museum (No. 9 Pearl Street, Fuxi Sub-district, Deqing County) 🅿️Free As soon as you enter, you see the Guinness World Record pearl treasure ship 🚢, which is extremely luxurious. It is said to be the sculpture with the most pearls inlaid, and it's simply too beautiful! Along the way, we saw various sculptures made of pearls, the largest Tridacna shell, and a simulated scene of ancient pearl diving. Chen Ge said that in the past, people would dive for pearls with just a tube and a rope, which was very dangerous 🤭 Then came the most anticipated part, the experience of opening shells to collect pearls. It's part of China's important agricultural cultural heritage, the 'Deqing Pearl System'. We harvested quite a few small pearls and chose the prettiest ones to make jewelry. It was a very fulfilling experience~
