Each ceramic shop has it own workshop and artists, you could see them using traditional pottery lathes to create their artifacts and could also try to use the lathe to create your own pottery.
All the workshops are filled with any kind of pottery, among the most popular you will find vases, teapots, decorative items, cups, glasses, lamps and cutlery. There are prices for all pocket: you can buy small decorations for few dollars or go on with crazy shopping, it is up to you!
Yingge is not only ceramics: the village is surrounded by small restaurants, tea house and tea sampling spots, as well as ice cream and bamboo juice stands, pressed using the traditional way, I personally like a lot this refreshing drink, it is worthy to try it! Weekends are very crowded, you will find many shoppers or people that just stroll around the village for some shopping.
"New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum", a center dedicated to the study, development and preservation of ceramic arts in Taiwan. Main target of the museum is not only to promote local tourism and follow up the ceramic industry development, but also improve the exchange between local and international ceramics artists, for this reason the museum closely cooperate with similar museums in Germany and Spain.
I have personally visited the museum and I recommend you to go, the museum itself is an artwork, it has a modern architecture with traditional Asian design elements, like a pond with a waterfall at the entrance, big glass windows, bridges and light effects that intersects themselves in a beautiful way...are you ready for your next day-trip?
