Yingge is located in the southwest corner of the Taipei Basin. As early as 1805 AD, the soil in Yingge was found to be suitable for creating ceramic works. The local area also produced coal mines, suitable for the development of kilns, and had convenient water and railway transportation. Therefore, the Yingge ceramics production industry was created. After the development and promotion of ceramic art, many art studios and shops attract many tourists. Since we bought the $1200 NT ($37 USD) TPASS, we can take any MRT, light rail, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT, bus, Taiwan Railway train and Youbike etc. in Keelung, Taipei, New Taipei and Taoyuan within 30 days. So we took the MRT to Banqiao and then took a train to Yingge.
鶯歌位於臺北盆地的西南角，遠在西元1805年，鶯歌的土壤就被發現適合捏製陶瓷，當地又出產煤礦，適以發展燒窯，並有水利及鐵路運輸之便，於是開創了鶯歌陶瓷生產業，再加之以後對陶瓷藝術的推展，許多藝術工作室和商店吸引了不少觀光客。由於我們買了基北北桃 1200 定期票 ($37 美金)，30 天內可以在基隆市、台北市、新北市及桃園市內任意搭乘捷運、輕軌、機捷、市區公車、台鐵火車、及 Youbike。所以我們坐捷運到板橋，再換火車到鶯歌。
At the train station, we saw a map of nearby famous scenic spots, and we followed the map to visit several places.
在火車站，我們看到了附近有名的景點圖，我們便依著地圖去探訪幾個地方。
We went to the New Taipei City Art Museum first. The New Taipei City Government hopes to combine relevant arts and culture, natural ecology and local industrial characteristics to become an important artistic and cultural landmark in northern Taiwan. At present, the main building is still under construction, so we went to an outdoor park for a walk.
我們先去新北市美術館。是新北市政府期望能結合相關藝術文化、自然生態與地方產業特色，成為北台灣重要的藝文地標。目前主體建築仍在施工中，我們便去戶外園區逛逛。
After leaving the New Taipei City Art Museum campus, we saw a shop selling porcelain and went to take a look.
出了新北市美術館園區，我們看到一家賣瓷器的店，便去看看。東西之多，看得眼花繚亂。
It was almost noon, and we walked on a long semicircular viaduct, crossed the train tracks, and headed to Yingge Ceramics Old Street. There are many signboards on the railings of the overpass providing introductions and folk stories about Yingge. We had delicious beef noodles and pork ribs rice for lunch, and had an old-fashioned popsicles after the meal. It was a great pleasure.
快中午了，我們走在一個好長的半圓形高架橋上，穿過火車鐵軌，去鶯歌陶瓷老街。天橋的欄杆上有許多看板，介紹鶯歌這個地方。中午吃了好吃的牛肉麵及排骨飯，飯後再來一支古早味冰棒，不亦樂乎。
Yingge Historical Street of Ceramics, located on Wenhua Road and Jianshanpu Road, has a history of 200 years. In 1989, under the re-planning of the city government, the pedestrian area was paved with rocks, and the old ceramic factories beside the road were also renovated and converted into business stores. You can find unique exquisite art centers, bulk tableware stores, and factory-operated stores. We also found several pottery studios in a small alley, which were very special and interesting, and they made our trip worthwhile.
位於文化路以及尖山埔路上的鶯歌陶瓷老街已有200年的歷史，民國89年在市府的重新規劃下，將徒步區鋪上岩石，路旁原本老舊的 陶瓷廠房也重新規劃整修，改成營業用的商店，有各具特色的精緻藝術中心、大宗餐具專賣店，還有老鶯歌陶瓷世家，及工廠直營商店。我們在一個小巷弄中還發現好幾家陶藝家工作室，非常特別，讓我們深感不虛此行。
