Ci Qi Kou (Old Town) -磁器口

Ci Qi Kou, an old town built in Song Dynasty, is one of few ancient towns, that can be seen today. Due to the fact that it was built by the Jiangling River, it was a very important shipping port in Ming Dynasty. During the Sino-Japanese war, this town was known of spy activities of both sides. Basing on the stories that took place in Ci Qi Kou, several movies and TV series were made.

Today, the town becomes a popular market place for selling porcelain, food snack and other handicraft items. Many shops are still using their ancient skills to do their handicrafts and food items. Visitors may easily spend half of a day in touring around this town. While you are there, be courageous…. Try to taste some of the food items there!
