Hearing that the red leaves in Huizhou were in bloom, four people in a car set off leisurely. Baoshanju's drawing studio Baoshanju's creative studio
The first stop was Jingdezhen. I chose Sanbao International Ceramic Village on the outskirts of Jingdezhen and stayed at a B&B called "Baoshanju". The owner of the courtyard is a porcelain master. There is a drawing workshop and a gas kiln in the courtyard. A porcelain production line. Being a B&B is purely for fun of the host family. Jingdezhen's name has already made everyone discuss the idea of experiencing porcelain making in the car. It just so happens that everyone has reached a consensus on wasting some materials for making porcelain and is eager to try it.
Wandering around Sanbao Village in Jingdezhen in the evening, I found a craftsman still working. A few of us laymen went in to disturb him. This craftsman made a special trip from Foshan to Sanbao Village in Jingdezhen to promote his method of restoring ancient porcelain craftsmanship. In Jingdezhen City The Taoxichuan Ceramics Night Market in the hotel is full of dazzling varieties of porcelain, which makes you forget to leave. In Sanbao Village, I also found a high-end B&B in Suma Liqing, which is on par with Banyan Tree.
After dinner, we wandered around Sanbao Village, which was a bit similar to Shuhe. Everyone was so laid-back, and the two dogs on the second-floor platform were also so lazy, attracting the attention of a group of laid-back people.
We stayed in Jingdezhen for two days, experienced porcelain making, visited the porcelain market, and visited the Jingdezhen Museum and the Ancient Porcelain Research Institute.
It's a pleasure to try Jingdezhen's delicacies. Sister Tian Tian, who was traveling with us, helped us find delicious food all the way. She even discovered the breakfast snacks in Jingdezhen. She drove into the city for two consecutive days and found a food street under construction, specializing in fried dough sticks and mochi. Four people They all ate happily.
In the midst of our busy schedule, we also asked the owner of Baoshanju to help us make a piece of porcelain. I don’t know how this master porcelain expert felt. I stood aside and watched the elder sisters clumsily sorting out the mud. , I was sweating for them. Half a month later, the fired homemade porcelain was sent over. One look at it and it was clear that the master must have taken the trouble to straighten the blanks before putting them into the furnace. Finally, finally It’s great to have a finished personal porcelain product.

From Jingdezhen, we went to stay at Wangmeilou Farm in Dazhangshan near Wuyuan Shicheng. Boss Bi said that it was the royal chrysanthemum production season. After lunch, several people immediately picked up their bamboo baskets and ran to the royal chrysanthemum field to learn to pick chrysanthemums.
It took two hours to pick the chrysanthemums that filled the bamboo basket, and followed the chrysanthemum maker into the drying room. The chrysanthemums waiting to be baked were carefully arranged and very tiring. I finally participated in the entire process of making royal chrysanthemums. As long as you do it yourself, It's also quite interesting.
Mr. and Mrs. Bi of Wangmei Building are friendly and kind. Although it is a farmhouse, they try their best to make us feel at home with warm service. We can eat some Wuyuan specialties, drink some freshly made royal chrysanthemum tea, and enjoy the autumn leisure trip.
I stayed on the mountain near the village head to watch the smoke curling up from the cooking pots, watching the yellow leaves of the big ginkgo tree in the center of the village slowly fall, and the white clouds slowly drifting over my head, creating a beautiful autumn scene.
There is also a traditional paper umbrella craft factory in Hongye Town in Likeng, a small village in the mountains of Dazhang Mountain.

The sky was not beautiful, and I waited in Wuyuan for the red leaves in the mist of Shicheng to no avail. I left Wuyuan, passed through Yaoli Ancient Town, and arrived in Huizhou.
After choosing around Hongcun, I finally decided to stay in a hotel with floor-to-ceiling windows near Hongcun. I have been to Hongcun several times. This is the first time I have chosen various hotels so calmly. It seems that I still have to find the off-season time. In the hotel, you can see the Hongcun fireworks while lying on the bed, and then go to the nearby Tachuan to see the autumn colors, and join in the fun in Hongcun, as well as Mukeng Bamboo Sea, Xidi Ancient Village, and Huizhou’s tourist attractions are very dense. It was quite relaxing to pass by Huangshan Mountain, which I had climbed many times before. Red leaves at Qishu Lake on Tachuan Road
The night in Tachuan is quiet and the morning light in Tachuan is faint.
The focus of this trip was the red leaves, including the red leaves in Wuyuan Shicheng and Huizhou Tachuan. Unexpectedly, on the national highway from Wuyuan, Jiangxi to Hongcun, red leaves were all over the sky, and the yellow leaves of ginkgo were also standing in the middle of the road to join in the fun. It was dizzying. Unfortunately, there were no professional videographers accompanying us, so many of Huizhou’s autumn colors were left with only photos. Of course, Huizhou’s most famous delicacy, the stinky mandarin fish, is a must-try. Sister Tian Tian dug out all the food clues along the way. Sister Tian Tian directed us to a restaurant called "Huizhou Taste". The architectural layout is sophisticated and it is a serious "A Bite of China". After trying the stinky mandarin fish once, our dinner in Huizhou was basically arranged by this Huizhou flavor restaurant. Among several Huizhou famous dishes, we unanimously must order the stinky mandarin fish dish.
Overall, in my personal opinion, there is still a big gap between the autumn colors in the central part and the autumn colors in the west. The best scenery in China is in the west, so you should go west in autumn.
