Porcelain House in Tianjin with Friends

Hey- I've got several places to visit on my Tianjin bucket list and since it's a lovely day let's go check out one of the places on my list. Sound okay????

I think today we'll go check out the Porcelain House. I've driven past it several times and it does look interesting. I wonder what it looks like on the inside!?

By the way, our friends Linda and her son, Wolf, will be joining us. Like I always say- it's more fun with friends!

Hey! We're already here!!! And check out this beast of creation:

A Land Rover covered with tile and porcelain mosaic!

Do you think the car still drives? What a rather expensive car to cover with mosaic tiles!

So many cool things to see plastered all over the walls and floors. Reminds me of the Dickeyville Grotto!!!!

Ah yes, we have to pay to get in the museum. Thank goodness Ava is free! (she's under 1.2m)

Cool mosaic floor!

Interesting incense holder.

Let's go check out what's inside the museum.

Or perhaps I should say "museum". As it seems this isn't a museum but a big shop containing lots of very expensive and apparently very old things.

"Don't touch this"…."don't touch that". The attendants here just want to make sure we don't touch a thing. My, such a fun place to visit.

Or not. Seriously. How soon can we leave?

Ah, I've seen this style chair all over China. I kind of like it!

Okay, so it isn't really a museum and the stuff in here is stuffy and boring. BUT the building itself is beautiful. Hardly worth the entry fee to this so-called museum though. The upper floor was off-limits as people still live up there.
