Hello!

Tentatively planning a trip to Wuxi for the New Year's, or perhaps this summer. Does anyone have any recommendations for shops I can visit?

Do you plan a trip down to Dingshan (yixing) too?

If not since you are in China might be interesting to check out one of these stores, to train your eyes: https://www.zisha.com/en/contact.shtml

Don't buy anything randomly there though not everything is as good they say they are, but they work with some pretty amazing masters. More like a museum visit tbh.

@Kolleh, did you go on your tea pot buying sojourn last autumn?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused by your wording! I did buy some pots before locally and online, but not in Dingshan. I still use and enjoy most of them. I'd like to pick up some higher-quality ones if people are willing to offer advice. :)
