This year, the Origin Open Day will lead visitors to understand the technical strengths of the Yingge Ceramics Origin through factory visits, limited stores, craftsmanship sites, neighborhood tours, pick-and-choose items, Yingge table banquets and experiential workshops. , connecting Yingge Old Street and the factory into a comprehensive experiential space, guiding the public to understand the operating logic of the Yingge Ceramics production area one by one in the process. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53183585352_65ecce698b_z.jpg
