Hey there, young explorers! 🌍 Have you ever heard of a place where magical teapots are made? Welcome to Ancient South Street in Yixing, China! 🏮
For hundreds of years, this charming street has been the home of zisha ware—special clay teapots and cups. But what makes them so special?
Zisha (pronounced “zee-sha”) means “purple sand” in Chinese. It’s a unique kind of clay found only in Yixing. Artisans use this clay to make beautiful teapots that can keep tea tasty and warm! ☕
Walking down Ancient South Street is like stepping back in time. You can see craftsmen shaping clay with their hands, just like they did centuries ago. It’s amazing to watch! 😃
If you love art or want to see where some of the world’s most famous teapots come from, Yixing’s Ancient South Street is the place to be! Maybe one day, you’ll visit and see the magic yourself! ✨
