Tongguan Kiln Ancient Town is a new tourist attraction in Wangcheng District, Changsha City. And the interior decoration of the sight and transport facilities are all designed in ancient style. A total investment of 10 billion CNY has been made to the Town. Covering an area of 3,000 mu (200 hectares), it mainly conveys the cultures of ceramics and Tang dynasty and Hunan culture. It was built in accordance with the standard of the National 5A Tourist Attraction. It is a large-scale comprehensive cultural and tourism town integrating culture, technology and entertainment. The Tongguan Kiln Ancient Town is a large cultural complex with a total construction area of 1.1 million square meters. The Town has 8 museums, 5 performing centers, 3 luxury hotels, 18 cultural attractions and 4 children’s amusement parks. The Tongguan Kiln Ancient Town is expected to host more than 5 million tourists each year. Local friends took me to see the site of the Tong Guan Kiln outside of Changsha. I really had no idea what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. This archeological find from the AD 700's is now well displayed under roof with plenty of bilingual signage in Chinese and English. Areas of the original clay hillside are exposed and marked with explanations as to how the kiln functioned to produce thousands of pots in each firing. Visitors must be able to navigate steps but I was fine even with a slight walking disability. Although not as grand as the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, this site reminded me of that one with its authenticity and well-designed display of the original site. Not much else to do here, though, so visitors must be interested in history, pottery production, or preferably both (as I was). If you are considering this as a side trip, do it soon because adjacent to the side is a huge hotel complex under construction which will increase visitation manifold. As usual for me in China, I was the only foreigner I saw that day. ------------------------------ 0:00 Intro 0:46 The museums' journey 22:44 Wandering in the ancient town 42:38 Fireworks Show on the lake 48:25 The bonfire party 01:01:08 Keep on night exploring ------------------------------ ★★ Guys, I'm looking forward to know what you get from the video.★★ ------------------------------ ★★ City Walking Tours ★★ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73R0Ap6ZeZA If you enjoy my videos, please ★SUBSCRIBE★ my next walk, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCip2HiAmspOVMeh0yxMcEaA Love and peace. ------------------------------ #Changsha
