This place is so much fun! Address: Luoyang Sancai Town. 🌺 This is a very fun place. The main street of the village is full of Tang Sancai shops with workshops in the back. Along the street, there are museums and cultural and creative parks... The walls and eaves on both sides of the street are filled with various Tang Sancai samples, from people to animals. Walking through it, there is a unique fairy tale world feeling, and surprises are everywhere. 🌺 You can also visit the factory, including the material warehouse, the raw embryo warehouse, the semi-finished product warehouse, and the finished product warehouse, and you will have the thrill of exploring the ruins... The prices here are much cheaper than those in the museum's cultural and creative stores, although there may be quality differences that I cannot distinguish. 🌺 You can also ask to enter the factory to make it yourself. The store provides all the supplies needed for the whole process, which is very suitable for traveling with children. Recommended!
