Re: Yixing Trip
You'll be overwhelmed by the choice. No specific recommendations, but at least allow 2 days to visit many workshops, take a good look at the ones you like, and if possible test how it pours. It's a good chance to find the perfect teapot (clay type, shape, size etc), which is much harder when you order online.
