Itinerary

In the morning, you will be greeted by the local guide at the pier. Today you will have a full-day trip to Foshan, which is famous for its porcelain industry and martial art. The highlight today is to visit the Foshan Ancestral Temple, a Daoist temple. It was first built in the Song dynasty during the reign of Emperor Zhezong, in the Yuanfeng Era (1078-1085), but was ruined towards the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was rebuilt in the 5th year of Hongwu Era of the Ming Dynasty (1372). The temple is dedicated to Beidi, the Northern God, who is said to have power over the waters of Guangdong. After the foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the temple was converted into Foshan Municipal Museum and listed as one of the main cultural relics under the preservation by the Guangdong provincial government. After that, you will continue to visit the Folk Art Center. Afternoon tour will take you to visit the Ancient Nanfeng Kiln. The Ancient Nanfeng Kiln, where the pottery art of Foshan originated, is located in Shiwan Town, Chancheng District of Foshan City. Being the oldest kiln of China, the history of the kiln can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. It is amazing that this ancient kiln still operates. Visitors can enjoy an ever fascinating experience to make their own pottery in this fascinating national treasure. Tourists to the kiln can make pottery by themselves with the assistance of professional workers. You can choose desired types and design distinctive patterns, making it a unique household decoration. If you want to buy some souvenirs, the pottery of Shiwan Town should not be missed. After that, you will spend some relaxing time at the culture street. Then you will transfer back to the pier. Service ends.
