Here, Kevin will learn about the blue and white (Chinese ceramic firing process) craftsmanship to experience ancient porcelain making and explore the porcelain kiln. In addition, Kevin will visit the contemporary porcelain capital to feel the cultural heritage. Don’t think that porcelain is just an old antique.
