1️⃣9:00-10:00 China Ceramic Museum
🕣: 9:00-16:30, closed on Mondays
🎫: 🆓 (You must book in advance on 🍊!!!)
A must-visit spot in Jingdezhen, the museum houses over 50,000 cultural relics, including the recently famous 'Silent Buddha' 💧. When it's crowded, you need to queue separately, and the exhibits are all very exquisite, worthy of the title 'Porcelain Capital'! It's recommended to come early, otherwise it's too crowded.

2️⃣10:20-10:50 Fuzhou Nong
A great place for breakfast, the alley is small, but it's all delicious food along the way. My friends tried Fangfang's boiled food and fried dough sticks wrapped in glutinous rice, both were good. I had beef offal noodles🍜, chosen randomly from a small shop, the soup base was quite fresh, and Tanpo's dumplings were also not bad.

3️⃣11:00-13:00 Taoyangli Scenic Area
🕣: 8:30-22:30
🎫: 53 (Book and purchase on 🍊, half price for the elderly and children, free for Jingdezhen citizens)
Equivalent to a historical and cultural resort area, covering 108 ancient alleys that have been around for a thousand years, including the famous Imperial Kiln Museum, Longzhu Pavilion, etc. There are also homestays, coffee shops, ceramic workshops, restaurants, 🍺 bars, etc. You could stroll around for a whole day, but we only had two hours due to our tight schedule, and it was still fulfilling.

4️⃣13:30-15:30 Taoxi Chuan Cultural and Creative District
🎫: 🆓, no reservation needed
An artistic district, the shops inside are more literary. There is a market from Friday to Sunday, with many artists setting up stalls, each stall is as exquisite as an exhibition, and because many are original handmade products🍶, the prices are higher than ordinary porcelain factories. If you find something you like, be sure to bargain! My friend liked a set of cups, and bargained from 360 down to 280! PS: There is an art gallery inside, 🎫40, worth visiting if interested.

5️⃣16:30-19:00 Sanbao Village
It's quite far from the city center, surrounded by green mountains⛰️, perfect for photography, and also a gathering place for artistic souls. There are many hidden gem shops, such as 9494 Aesthetic Space, and the meals are mostly exquisite. However, there is some controversy over Sanbao Village, because it's too 'Instagrammable', it's very crowded, leading to hours of queuing at some shops. Plus, the attractions are quite scattered and not very suitable for walking, so the overall experience might not be very good. Additionally, you can rent electric scooters🛵 at the entrance of the village.

Hualuo Porcelain Capital Jingdezhen, Taoliyang Park, Yuyao Museum is located in the park, there is a museum and I am not willing to leave. The Yuyao Museum is a place where the film is made, and the heart is full of joy! The place that nourishes the soul will always love it! I was hit by the kiln of Song Huizong, and the rain broke through the sky and the clouds. This color will be done in the future! As a top-class aesthetic view, Song Huizong is a proper artist, poetry & painting & calligraphy & inscriptions are all top-notch! How can we not love such a master of art!
Do not miss this! The kiln structure itself is a site to behold. All structures are now adapted and being used as a museum, offices and a cafe. The museum has historical pieces and some contemporary pieces.
Jingdezhen Royal Kiln Museum, located at No. 187 Zhushan Middle Road, Zhushan District, Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province, is a special museum of traditional technology and crafts. Most of the collections in the museum are orphans and unique products. There are Yuanqinghua Wuzhao Dragon-print Go cans, Minghong Wuxuli Red Land White Lotus-printed Bowl, Ming Yongle egrets three pot connector, Ming Xuande blue and white five-legged dragon-printed pot, Ming Xuande Dou color lotus pond shaving plate, Ming Chenghuasu three-color duck smoke, etc.
Jingdezhen Royal Kiln Museum is located at No. 187 Zhushan Middle Road, Zhushan District, Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province. It was built in October 1997 and was rebuilt and repaired on May 18, 2021 and reopened. The architectural design of the museum is very unique, designed by Zhu Ying Architectural Design Firm, with the arch of the "kiln" as the design element, which perfectly combines the imperial kiln culture with modern architecture. The building is divided into two parts, the ground and underground, the depth of the underground part is about 7800 square meters, the ground part is about 2,600 square meters, containing 8 hyperbolic arch structures, these arch structures are partially hidden underground, like real porcelain kilns. The entire museum is like a giant porcelain, connecting the ground and underground spaces. As of the end of 2019, the museum has a total of 1,470 pieces (sets), of which 421 precious artifacts (sets). These precious collections reflect the history and culture of Jingdezhen's imperial kiln, and also reflect the museum's high attention to traditional craftsmanship and protection.
If the museum is in the ceramic category, the exhibits are not as good as the Forbidden City. The most meaningful is the introduction of blue and white enamel. During the National Day, there were too many people and the building was reduced to a punching point. I also saw that there was a dispute in order to shoot the position, which affected the travel experience too much.
Rich collection, very historical and artistic value
