Foshan Travel
Monday, May 25, 2009, 20:26
Foshan has been known since the Song Dynasty for its fine ceramics, particularly figurines with a pale blue glaze. Visits to factories can be arranged through the tourist office. To view the city’s other crafts, it is worth visiting the Foshan Folk Art Studio, housed in a former Ming temple, the Renshou Temple, in the southern part of city. Nearby, the Zuci Miao was founded in AD 1080 as a Daoist temple. It is lavishly decorated with ceramic figures, made in nearby Shiwan, representing scenes from traditional opera and folk stories.
