Itinerary

Pick up at your Guangzhou hotel lobby and drive to Foshan Ancestral Temple, one of the famous ancient buildings in Guandong Province with a history of more than 900 years. Originally it was called the Ancestor's Hall, for worshipping the ancestors by workers of the smelting trade. Continue to visit the Ancient Nanfeng Kiln, built during the Zhengde years of Ming Dynasty (1506-1521). For nearly five hundred years the flame has never died out, with constant production. Thus the kiln has been kept complete without any damage, which is rare in China. It is the oldest dragon kiln left in China and now is applying to the history culture heritage of the world. After lunch, you will visit the Foshan Folk Art Research Institute, a special institution for researching, inheriting and developing Foshan traditional folk art. Drive back to Guangzhou and transfer to your hotel.

Foshan Ancestral Temple -- first built in the period 1078 to 1085, is one of the famous ancient buildings in Guandong Province with a history of more than 900 years. Originally it was called the Ancestor's Hall, for worshipping the ancestors by workers of the smelting trade.

Foshan Folk Art Research Institute:Founded in 1956, traditional folk arts can be inherited and developed there. People from home and abroad have made high appraisal of its artistic accomplishments.

Ancient Nanfeng Kiln -- Ancient Nanfeng Kiln, founded during Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty (1506-1521), is a surviving furnace over 400 years, which is certainly uncommon in China for its sticking to burning pottery up to now. It's therefore listed as Guangdong's key protection unit of historical and cultural relics.
