Sorry to disappoint you, I did not leave Shenhou Ancient Town empty-handed!

Shenhou, a place that I have been longing for for a long time. I have passed by it countless times, but this yearning has become stronger. Finally, today, I set foot on this magical land that has been tempered by kiln fire for thousands of years with great anticipation✨. As soon as you step into the ancient town, the bluestone roads under your feet begin to wind and unfold, like an ancient ballad that is sung slowly and leisurely. With every step you take, you can hear the stories whispered by time. There are many cultural relics and historical sites preserved in Shenhou Old Street. The Bolingweng Temple and the Guandi Temple are separated by a wall, and two ancient theaters stand quietly. The flying eaves, brackets and mottled paint surface all show its history📜. It is not difficult to imagine how lively this place was. How many wonderful operas were performed here, witnessing countless joys and sorrows, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, carrying the deep love of Henan people for opera. But now, the hustle and bustle in front of the theater has dissipated, leaving only the breeze blowing gently through the corridors, as if whispering about the bustle and prosperity of the past. Strolling slowly along the old street, I walked into the world of Jun porcelain unknowingly. As soon as I stepped into the shop filled with Jun porcelain, I instantly felt like I had fallen into a gorgeous colorful dream🌈. There is a wide variety of Jun porcelain cultural and creative products. Each piece of Jun porcelain seems to be endowed with a soul. The unique kiln-changing process allows them to present unique colors and patterns, like mountains and clouds, or like the blue sea and stars. There are also those exquisite porcelain flowers. If you look closely, you can see the delicate petals stacked layer by layer. The warm texture makes you want to touch them gently. It seems that time has stopped on them. They are breathtakingly beautiful😍. The first time I saw it, I was attracted to it and was successfully attracted to it🌱. As people say, no tourist can walk out of Shenhou empty-handed, and I am no exception. I picked out a few small Jun porcelain items that I liked and was very happy 😀. Shenhou Ancient Town, a place tempered by kiln fire for thousands of years, a dream illuminated by Jun porcelain. Here, time flows slowly, slow enough for you to see the texture of every piece of porcelain and hear the whisper of every bluestone slab. Shenhou, this small town is worth a visit, I think I will come back! 💖
