Temps forts du tour

Ce tour visite les villes voisines de Tingge et Sanxia. Yingge est la capitale de la poterie à Taïwan, une petite ville qui produit des répliques peintes à la main d'élégants vases Ming et Qing comme ceux qui ornèrent autrefois les palais de Pékin. L'ancienne rue des potiers de Yingge est célèbre pour ses magasins de faïence et de poterie. Vous aurez l'opportunité d'acheter certains de ces articles ravissants. Chaque octobre, la ville organise un festival de la rue des potiers.
Visitez une usine de poterie locale où vous pourrez observer les potiers en train de travailler l'argile et les artistes en train de peindre des vases.
Vous continuerez votre tour dans la petite ville traditionnelle de Sanxia, appelé à l'origine Sanjiauyung. La principale attraction de Sanxia est l'artistique temple Ching Shui Tsu Shih, construit en 1769 et détruit par le tremblement de terre de 1833, il fut ensuite reconstruit en 1867. Le temple Ching Shui Tsu Shih est célèbre pour ses sculptures en bois de camphre. C'est un site historique classé et l'un des temples majeurs de Taipei.
Promenez-vous sur la magnifique Vieille Rue de Sanxia, bordée de vieux bâtiments dans le style occidental décorés de sculptures en bois ainsi qu'en bronze et en pierre.

Our guide was a driver, not a guide. While he spoke excellent English he didn't have any prepared information for us and seemed to be totally unprepared for our outing. The pottery factory was interesting and the employees did a good job with the tour.
Too much time at pottery factory so time at pottery street very limited.
The tour was good, but the bus was not. It needed a new set of Shocks and tires. We bounced the entire tour. Our second day's tour was the same. Not sure if we were on a different bus or not. No difference in the ride.
One of the most disappointing half-day tours my wife & I have ever taken. We went initially to Sansia & spent so long at a Taoist temple that we were only able to walk about 50 metres along Sansia Old Street before our guide told us it was time to go to Yingge. Instead of going to Pottery Street as expected or the ceramics museum as we'd hoped, we were taken to a single store, where prices were quite expensive. No-one wanted to purchase anything, whereupon the tour guide announced we had 20 minutes to spare & we would go back to the railway station so we could look in the shops opposite. Unfortunately, the quality of the pottery in those shops that were open was very poor & staff in several stores were clearly surprised at our wanting to look at their merchandise. One person made a single purchase before we were back at the tour van well before the 'spare 20 minutes' had expired. My wife & I were disconcerted by the absence of seat belts in the 9-seater van that was used for this tour & did not feel comfortable while travelling. While the tour guide was very personable & knowledgeable, I cannot recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing Sansia or Yingge.
The old street market and pottery factory were really neat.
