🚘 Setting off from Guangdong, I drove to Wuyuan to see the rapeseed flowers, having heard that a hundred million people were on the road, and I was one of them. On the fifth day of the journey, I arrived in Jingdezhen, mainly to avoid the weekend crowds, so I deliberately took a detour to this thousand-year-old porcelain capital for a two-day visit. ✔️ Upon arriving in Jingdezhen, I didn't go to the hotel first but went straight to the China Ceramic Museum along the way. Unexpectedly, it was also crowded with people. Fortunately, the place is quite spacious, and the museum's content is rich, leaving a deep impression. The hotel is located near the Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative Center, and after settling in, I walked to this popular check-in spot. ✔️ After liberation, Jingdezhen built ten major porcelain factories, and the site of Taoxichuan was once one of these ten factories, the Universal Porcelain Factory. The meaning of Taoxichuan is 'from porcelain to stream, gathering streams into a river.' The once dilapidated factory buildings have now become a benchmark for cultural and creative projects, famous far and wide. ✔️ Stepping into Taoxichuan, I found that the main color theme here is brick red. Not only are the exterior walls of the houses faced with red bricks, but even the floors are cleverly paved with red bricks, giving a retro and warm feeling. I took a casual stroll inside while it was still light. ✔️ The buildings here are mostly transformed from old factory buildings, and there are some oddly shaped things that were originally production equipment. After decoration, they have become landscapes, among which the most conspicuous are the several large chimneys standing in the park, symbols of that era. In short, it's like dead wood meeting spring, rejuvenating with new life. ✔️ Another major feature here is the stalls along the streets, too numerous to count, selling cultural and creative products related to 'porcelain.' They are varied and dazzling, fitting well with the positioning of the Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative Center. Strolling casually on such a cultural and creative street, admiring these uniquely creative trinkets, is a pleasure even if you don't buy anything. ✔️ I heard that the night scene here is also beautiful and even more lively. Seeing that it's still light out, I decide to slurp some noodles on the nearby street first. Jingdezhen's beef bone noodles are a local specialty. ✔️ Returning to Taoxichuan, the street lights are just coming on, and the moon has risen halfway into the sky. The street is indeed more crowded with people, with tourists seemingly coming from everywhere. ✔️ After wandering around the market for a long time, I was reluctant to leave. The various cultural and creative goods, under the light, looked even more exquisite. Looking up, between the tall chimneys and the shadows of the trees, a bright moon flickered in and out of the clouds. Under the cover of night, Taoxichuan became even more enchanting. 📍 Address: Xinchang Road, Zhushan District, Jingdezhen 👍🏻 Recommended: Cultural and creative market, kiln check-in, beef bone noodles 💰 Cost: Free to visit, beef bone noodles 20 yuan for a small serving

Taoxichuan Creative District is a cultural and tourism project based on the protection and utilization of ceramic industrial heritage, vigorously developed by Jingdezhen in recent years. Here, you can fully experience the charm of ancient ceramic culture and the vitality injected by many young brands. There are art exhibitions by emerging ceramic artists, as well as ceramic works by college students, handmade ceramic pendants, and hand-painted ceramic tea sets. You can even try your hand at exploring the art of manual craftsmanship. It can be said that everything about ceramic art is available here. If you're not interested in ceramics, this place is also an excellent spot for social media check-ins, with buildings that are also highly artistic. A casual photo here turns into a work of art.

Jingdezhen in Jiangxi is the famous "Porcelain Capital". When visiting Jingdezhen, one must take a stroll through the Taoxichuan Creative Cultural District, where a variety of creative ceramic products are gathered, and you can also purchase some desirable ceramic crafts. The district houses pottery studios, museums, a specialty boutique street, dining options, themed inns, and more, making it a very distinctive tourist spot for checking in. What I love most here is to browse the specialty boutique street, where the various exquisite and creative ceramic crafts are dazzling and irresistible. The architecture within the district is also very distinctive, being renovated and expanded on the basis of the original Universe Porcelain Factory, full of historical memories, and also witnessing the history of Jingdezhen's ceramic development. The nights here are beautiful, with the unique factory buildings becoming even more beautiful and charming under the lights.

Self-drive Special Forces one-day tour mode, so the itinerary is quite full. Jingdezhen is a slow-paced city, if you have enough time, you can slow down to two days and one night or longer. - 🗺️ Itinerary summary: China Ceramic Museum▶️Fuzhou Nong▶️Taoyangli Scenic Area▶️Sanbao Village - 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. - 🚗4 kilometers - 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. - 🚶🏽500 meters - 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. - 🚗4 kilometers - 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. - 🚗6 kilometers - 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. -

Special forces complete three itineraries in half a day🏃🏻‍♀️ 1️⃣ Sculpture Porcelain Factory. So many interesting stalls and cute trinkets! It's just a whole lot of dazzling and overwhelming sights, each alley leads to its own unique world, only regretting that there's too little time to explore everything. Burned a glass butterfly ring🦋, it was difficult but I love it. 2️⃣ Taoxi Chuan. Rushed to Taoxi Chuan night market at five o'clock, compared to the Sculpture Porcelain Factory the items here are even more exquisite and unique, truly a paradise for handicraft enthusiasts, taking photos at the iconic landmark building is super photogenic! 3️⃣ Imperial Kiln Museum. After dinner at Ouji, it was almost nine o'clock, and I was so tired that I couldn't even stand up straight, hesitated for a long time whether to go or not, but in the end, I didn't want to have regrets. Caught the last bus at 9:30 to enter the museum for free, luckily the security wasn't in a hurry to drive people out, took my time to stroll and then went outside to take photos and check in, there were really a lot of people, only managed to snap away during the brief moments of emptiness, have to say the night indeed has a more atmospheric feel, happily collected a bunch of photos🥰

March 1st, 11:45 departure from Shaoxing North Station, transfer in Hangzhou, then arrive in Jingdezhen and check into Taoyi Yingxiang Hotel. Dinner at Xiaolechuan, a 1.2 km walk from the hotel, has a good taste, recommended dishes include stir-fried kidney flowers and codfish tail. After dinner, take a taxi to Taoxi Chuan Cultural and Creative District, which was transformed from the old ceramic factory buildings, retaining a full industrial style. After creative renovation, it has become an area with a rich artistic atmosphere, and there is a market on Friday and Saturday nights. On the 2nd, after breakfast at the hotel, take a taxi to Lotte Tao Society Creative Market. The creative market requires a 50 yuan ticket and is open until 12 pm on Saturday. If you're not buying high-quality porcelain, it's not recommended to buy a ticket to enter, as there are plenty of stalls and markets on the street that are more suitable for shopping. Lunch was at Xiaomao Lao Mian Soup Dumpling Square Store, where the pork soup dumplings and preserved egg meat cake soup are good. In the afternoon, visit the China Ceramic Museum, where you can queue up to visit the Silent Buddha on the sixth floor. If you don't need a photo with the Silent Buddha, you can skip the queue and take pictures of the Silent Buddha during the gaps. Dinner at Ouji, which feels like the best meal in Jingdezhen, recommended dishes include secret yellow fish, spicy crab legs, ace chicken feet, osmanthus tofu, and water chestnut pearl coconut water. After dinner, visit the Imperial Kiln Museum, which is located in the Taoyangli scenic area. Taoyangli is a paid attraction, but you can visit for free after 8:30 pm, so choose to go to the scenic area after dinner at Longzhu Pavilion. After the time, the main gate automatically opens, and many people queue up to enter. We went straight to the Longzhu Pavilion internet-famous check-in spot, where several check-in spots were queuing for photos. Taoyi Hotel is right next to the Imperial Kiln Museum, but the north gate is not open, so you need to detour one kilometer. On the 3rd, after breakfast at the hotel, team up to go to China Ceramic City to choose your favorite tea set. Lunch was at Fan's Beef Bone Powder near the hotel, eating fried dough sticks and glutinous rice cakes, beef bone powder, because of time constraints, did not go to Chengxin Fried Dough Stick Shop, did not eat the recommended best fried dough sticks and glutinous rice cakes. We had a three-day and two-night leisure trip, didn't visit distant attractions, Jingdezhen city is not big, just take a taxi in the city area, recommended food includes Ouji Dapaidang, for those who like spicy food Xiaolechuan, and for buying ceramics, China Ceramic City is the place to go.

Taoxi Valley, a city cultural and creative district built on the conservation and utilization of ceramic industrial heritage, combines tradition, fashion, art, and high technology, recording the 60-year history of the Universe Porcelain Factory. Neat and beautiful landscape paths - mottled and rough factory walls; Modern buildings with red brick and ink-colored glass - chimneys characteristic of the old industrial era; Logos of popular shops - slogans with the imprint of the times; Dismantled machines and parts - modern sculptures; The perfect combination of tradition and modernity is everywhere. Unfortunately, the return flight was in the evening, so I couldn't enjoy the wonderful night view of Taoxi Valley.

People always say there are a lot of folks in Jingdezhen, but after some hesitation, I decided to go for it. Aside from queuing for an hour for a taxi after getting off the high-speed train, I found the city's population density quite manageable. After all, Jingdezhen has many markets, so not everyone is crowded in one place. This time, I opted for a laid-back approach, making a day trip and only visiting the Sculpture Porcelain Factory, Taoxi Valley, and Taoyang New Village. There's no need to specifically look for those popular shops; if you browse the markets carefully, you'll find them. When tired, just find a less crowded shop to sit and have a drink. The most important thing is to enjoy yourself. There are many places I haven't visited, so I'll save them for next time

Taoxi Chuan is a cultural and creative block integrating museums, hotels, and markets It's quiet during the day with few people, but it's bustling on weekend nights. Compared to last year, there are many more shops this year, and the overall quality is only second to Lotte, much better than many wild markets or Taoyang New Village, but there is not much room for bargaining, about eight to nine discounts. It's especially good for friends who like ceramics. In addition to tableware, there are also decorations, incense holders, jewelry, candlesticks... 💰Ticket: 🆓 ⏱️Time: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 19:00-22:00 The stalls are different every day, so what you buy is also fate.
