Jingdezhen has been famous since ancient times for porcelain described as "white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and resonant as a chime." Known as the "Porcelain Capital," its ceramic history dates back to the Han Dynasty, with blue-and-white porcelain reaching its peak in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.
Must-visit experiences: Imperial Kiln Factory National Archaeological Site Park (Ming-Qing royal kiln ruins with the iconic Dragon Pearl Pavilion), Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Expo Area (watch the entire traditional handmade porcelain process), Taoxichuan Creative Plaza (a renovated old porcelain factory with weekend creative markets), and Yaoli Ancient Town (the origin of porcelain and hometown of tea, featuring the Wanghu Ecological Scenic Area).
Visitors can personally experience traditional ceramic techniques like wheel throwing and blue-and-white painting, taking home a unique porcelain souvenir.
