Experience the millennium porcelain culture in Liling during the May Day holiday

During the May Day mini-holiday, I embarked on a journey to Liling, a place known as the 'millennium porcelain capital'. It attracted my attention as a distant traveler with its exquisite ceramics and unique food culture. Early in the morning, the streets of Liling were filled with the aroma of stir-fried rice noodles. I ordered a bowl just like the locals, steaming hot. Golden eggs, green bean sprouts, and colorful mixed noodles were stir-fried in the pan, topped with soy sauce and chili powder, making the aroma irresistible. With the first bite, the rich texture and unique taste marked the start of a Liling morning from this bowl of stir-fried noodles. In the afternoon, I visited the Porcelain Valley Flower Sea, where the 'Sing a Song Together' event was being held. Despite the drizzle, the audience's enthusiasm was undiminished. The appearance of Gan Wangxing took the atmosphere to a climax. His singing, like flames, ignited everyone's hearts. In the rain, we waved our umbrellas to the rhythm of the music, as if the whole world was immersed in this joy. Leaving the Porcelain Valley Flower Sea, I arrived at the 1915 block. It seemed like a world of ceramics, with exquisite handmade ceramic works and artistic trinkets everywhere. In a small shop, I encountered the internet-famous 'Xiao Hai Ge Fried Rice'. The fragrant fried rice made me stop to taste. On the 1915 stage, instrumental performances and rock dances were performed in turn, showing me the passion and vitality of Liling. In the evening, I went to the Two Sides of One River. An immersive Hanfu parade was taking place. Members of the Liling Hanfu Association, dressed in gorgeous Hanfu, strolled by the river. Their flowing robes and exquisite makeup seemed to transport me to an ancient court. In the parade, I also saw many tourists dressed in Hanfu, moving forward with the procession, feeling the charm of Chinese culture. During my days in Liling, I also participated in the Taorunhui event. Here you could play games for free and win prizes, and I was lucky to get some exquisite porcelain pieces. There were also young men offering free photography for tourists. This May Day holiday, Liling gave me so many surprises and emotions. The porcelain and food made me linger, and the culture and warmth earned my respect.
