[2025 Yuzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for China Enamel Culture Park (Updated Apr)

Everyone knows Jingdezhen's fame, but few realize that Henan also has a porcelain capital: Yuzhou. And it's no exaggeration, Yuzhou Jun porcelain is one of the five most famous ancient porcelains in China. How amazing is that! So, I took a weekend trip to Yuzhou. I discovered that it not only has Jun porcelain but also the Fat Donglai supermarket and a plethora of snacks. I highly recommend everyone in Henan visit! —————— 🏠Shenhou Ancient Town 📍Location: Henan, Xuchang, Yuzhou City 🎫Tickets: Free admission 🚗Transportation: 2-hour drive from Zhengzhou 📅Time: 2–3 hours for sightseeing —————— 🌟Travel Guide ✅Ancient Town Introduction 👉Shenhou Ancient Town has thrived for over a thousand years thanks to its Jun porcelain. It's both a tourist attraction and a living ancient town where residents still make a living from porcelain production. 👉The ancient town is a AAAA-level scenic spot with free admission. However, parking can be challenging. If you're not a confident driver, park on the main road and walk into the town. 👉The ancient town is quite large, but the main tourist area is concentrated around the old street area⬇️ ✅Travel Route 👉You can stroll along Shenhou Old Street, explore Wenbo Road for cultural artifacts, and dine at Jianye Canteen. 👉The old street route is straightforward; just follow the road. You can visit the Bolingweng Temple and the Ceramics Official Office. 👉At the end of the old street, you'll need to retrace your steps. You can turn from the Dapao Tower to Wenbo Road to create a circular route. —————— ❤️Travel Tips: 1️⃣Vehicles are prohibited inside the ancient town. If you want to drive near the town, you'll have to navigate small alleys. There are fees to park in front of houses, but not on the roadside. 2️⃣Jianye Canteen is a collection of various small shops. If you're looking for local specialties, try Qiuli Braised Meat, although I found it just average. 3️⃣The roads in the ancient town are paved but uneven. Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking, especially when looking for your car. 4️⃣When dining in Yuzhou, don't forget to try the local Yinmei Kele. 5️⃣The antique market closes before sunset, so it's best to visit in the morning. 🚗Nearby Attractions 🌈Jun Porcelain Cultural Theme Park: Located near the ancient town, you'll pass it on your way to the city center. It's a half-finished park, so you might want to skip it. 🌈Jun Official Kiln Site Museum: This is Yuzhou's city museum and the place to truly understand the history of Jun porcelain. Highly recommended. 🌈China Jun Porcelain Culture Park: A privately owned cultural park where all exhibits are for sale. The architecture is impressive. 🌈Yuzhou Fat Donglai: Closed on Mondays. This underground shopping mall is best reached by taxi to avoid traffic.

📍Detailed address: China Jun Porcelain Cultural Park I found this cultural park on the way to the high-speed rail station and went in to take a look. The building looks pretty good and there are chairs inside to sit and rest [Yeah] 📍Address: Yingbei Avenue, Yingbei District, Yuzhou City, Henan Province. 🕙Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 daily. 💰Tickets: Free. Tiancheng Pavilion: It is about 50 meters high and very spectacular. Inside the first floor there are Jun porcelain display cabinets and a huge scroll painting of "Eighty-Seven Immortals" by Wu Daozi. Jun Porcelain Cultural Square: There are Jun porcelain sculptures and landscapes, where you can feel the atmosphere of Jun porcelain culture. Jun Porcelain Production Experience Center: It has a Jun porcelain kiln display area and is a research and study base for primary and secondary schools. But it wasn't open when I went. 📝Note tips: Please abide by the park regulations when visiting and do not touch the exhibits; if you want to experience the production of Jun porcelain, you can inquire in advance whether it is open and related arrangements.

📍Yuzhou p1: Carrying our luggage tags 5️⃣8️⃣, we checked in at all the places. p2: Always waiting for the car🚗 on the road (and even got lost midway, really really really frustrating). p3: Visited the Jun Porcelain Cultural Park, and the ancient town is really far, it felt like we walked from the city to the village ❗️❗️❗️ p4: Jun porcelain is really beautiful, but some are really really expensive, to be admired from a distance but not to be played with lightly ❗️❗️❗️ p5: Had the same big plate chicken, the owner said that Zhuo Yuan often came to eat here during high school, the owner is really nice, and even gave a lesson to the chef about farming Zhuo Yuan, it was really touching p8: Met Yuan's mom, the auntie was super enthusiastic, she even gave us Yuzhou's special product, Yinmei Cola, and thanked us for supporting Zhang Yueyuan, saying that without us, there would be no him today . Also met Alice. In 2023, I came across the variety show 'Farming', but I put it aside because I didn't have a VIP membership for iQiyi. In 2024, strongly recommended by Li Xiaomei, I started watching 'Farming' after school started. At first, the house🏠 was really dilapidated, from not knowing how to harvest🌾, with the harvester constantly getting stuck in the mud, to eventually harvesting 142 acres of🌾, clearing snow-covered ditches, moving 30 tons of organic fertilizer, moving 4000 pots of🌹, planting local vegetables, building🏠, raising🐑 and various poultry, helping🐑 give birth, saving the little lamb🐑 Princess Qingtian, ... I feel that what they did is something I would never dare to imagine in my lifetime. Ten young guys👦 stayed in the field for 190 days, worked hard for 190 days, and established their own company, Ten Diligent Days. I am really happy for them, proud, and also glad that Zhuo Yuan's hometown is in Yuzhou. Li Xiaomei and I had to change our itinerary many times during today's journey, and when we arrived today, it felt really magical, really magical, really magical. Today was very fulfilling. Before entering Surino, we kept thinking about what to say, really socially anxious, but we also really took that step. Yuan's mom is really nice, really nice, Zun Doodle was very happy, we were on the go all day, but today was really happy, really happy, really happy. Because of Li Xiaomei's recommendation, I am not alone on the road following Ten Diligent Days, the feeling of being on the same wavelength is really awesome ❗️❗️❗️
