Treasures of the Millennium Porcelain Capital In the art-filled city of Jingdezhen, there is a hidden gem known as the Taoyangli Imperial Kiln Scenic Area. This is not only a historical relic full of cultural heritage, but also a treasure of Jingdezhen's ceramic culture. The Taoyangli Imperial Kiln Scenic Area is a national 4A-level tourist attraction, covering a vast area with a core area of over 1.6 square kilometers. The Taoyangli Imperial Kiln Scenic Area is a well-preserved ancient kiln site, which was once the production base of ancient royal porcelain. The scenic area contains a wealth of historical and cultural relics, including the Imperial Kiln Site, the Imperial Kiln Museum, the Ancient Street, and the Dragon Pearl Pavilion, all of which contribute to the profound cultural heritage. *Location: The Taoyangli Imperial Kiln Scenic Area is located in the heart of the old town of Jingdezhen, on Zhushan Zhonglu in Zhushan District, Jingdezhen City. *History and Culture: Jingdezhen is famous for its porcelain and has flourished due to its porcelain industry. It has a history of nearly 2,000 years of pottery production, more than 1,000 years of official kiln history, and more than 600 years of imperial kiln history. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been famous for its high-quality porcelain materials and top-notch artisans, and its porcelain has been exclusively used by the royal family, making it extremely precious. *Imperial Kiln Site: The Imperial Kiln Site is located in the Zhushan area of Jingdezhen, and is a historical witness to the imperial kilns of Jingdezhen. The perimeter of the Imperial Kiln Site is about 1.145 km, and the total area is about 54,300 square meters. A large number of Ming Dynasty imperial porcelain fragments have been unearthed, making the Imperial Kiln Site one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China. *Dragon Pearl Pavilion: Located on Zhushan Mountain, north of the Imperial Kiln Site, it was originally built in the Tang Dynasty and is the highest point of the Imperial Kiln. It offers a panoramic view of the entire scenic area. *Imperial Kiln Museum: The museum's architecture is unique, and its design draws inspiration from the egg-shaped chai kiln structure unique to Jingdezhen. It is composed of eight semi-circular arch-shaped kiln structures of different sizes, and its exterior is extremely design-oriented. The museum houses a collection of 1,470 pieces (sets) of Ming and Qing Dynasty official kiln rejected tribute porcelain, including 421 pieces (sets) of precious cultural relics, showcasing the glory and inheritance of the millennium porcelain capital. The museum has also been rated as the second most beautiful museum in the world and has won the "Oscar" of the architecture industry. *Alleys of Kiln Bricks: These narrow alleys preserve the historical appearance of the millennium kiln bricks. Strolling through them, you can feel the unique charm of the ancient town. *Imperial Kiln Site Park: Passing through the ancient kiln area, you will find a peaceful garden with lush trees, fragrant flowers, and birdsong, just like a paradise described by Tao Yuanming. Here you can admire various ceramic art works, including delicate porcelain vases, rough porcelain sculptures, and lifelike pottery figurines. These art works are the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient artisans and the inheritance of Jingdezhen's ceramic culture. *Exploration Experience: Walking along the stone-paved alleys and lanes within the scenic area, you can see rows of ancient kilns, which witness the development of Jingdezhen's ceramics. These kilns have stood the test of time and remain steadfast, as if telling the glorious years of the ancient porcelain capital. The air is filled with the faint smell of mud and fire, making you feel the hard work of ancient artisans.

❤Recommendation reason: It is said that "Jingdezhen is half of the history of ceramics". October 11, 2023 is a special day. All cameras bring the Taoyangli Historical and Cultural District in the center of Jingdezhen into our vision. [StarEyes] China is the country in the world where pottery originated the earliest! (Key point: it is the earliest, not one of the earliest)! Isn’t this worth our visit? [Awesome] 🌟Highlights: 1⃣️ Longzhu Pavilion - Located on Zhushan Mountain to the north of the Imperial Kiln Site, it is the highest point of the Imperial Kiln Factory, the best viewing point overlooking the ancient town of Jingdezhen, and the city landmark of Jingdezhen. (As shown in Figure 2, the best shooting angle is to walk straight through the gate. The place where there are many people queuing is the best shooting point!) [Love] 2⃣️ Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum - The architectural style is unique (it still requires some skills to take pictures of the overall effect). The museum as a whole draws on the structural characteristics of Jingdezhen's original egg-shaped wood-fired kiln. It is designed into 8 arch structures of different lengths and sizes, "lying horizontally" on the ruins of the Imperial Kiln Factory, and then the landscape pool integrates the architecture, landscape, and ruins into one. 3⃣️Yaozhuan Lanes——The lanes are like the meridians of the ancient town. The 108 narrow lanes have preserved the historical features of the thousand-year-old Yaozhuan Lanes. 🕙Business hours: Taoyangli Historical and Cultural Tourism Area 8:30-22:00 Imperial Kiln Museum 9:00-22:00 (closed on Mondays) 📝Note tips: If you want to learn more about the "treasures" in the museum, or bring children to visit, you can consider choosing the manual interpretation service!

#11GoodDestinations2024 Another must-see attraction in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi is the Longzhu Pavilion. This Longzhu Pavilion is one of the best historical pagodas. There is a large lawn outside where you can bring your children to play. It is also suitable for the elderly to walk around. There are basically no stairs and it is a flat road. There is also a popular check-in angle here. About 200 meters in front of the Longzhu Pavilion, there is a board that can reveal a little bit of the pagoda. It is very interesting to take pictures. Location: Longzhu Pavilion, Jingdezhen Opening hours: 9am-9pm

Oh my god😨, sisters, I really don’t know why people traveling to Jingdezhen✈️ have so many inexplicable queues to check in, which caught me off guard. Basically, there are dozens of queues for all the seats you see online. Starting from individual. So please don’t stick to those long queues for seats, it’s really meaningless. And you must have a good strategy when going to Jingdezhen. [Jingdezhen recommended check-in] ✅Sanbao Village Jingdezhen is a popular check-in village with a lot of people. There are many literary and artistic shops along the way, many internet celebrity check-in spots, and the gas trap is also here (I didn’t go to take pictures, there was a long queue, which is boring) ✅Sculpture Porcelain Factory There are many stalls selling porcelain, which is very suitable for shopping. There are many treasures and original shops, which are worth visiting. ✅Taoyangli Tickets 🎫: 53. It is recommended to spend half a day. The Royal Kiln Museum is inside, and it is very photogenic. We recommend the back of Longzhu Pavilion. There are few people and there are several good photo shooting positions. ✅Tao Xichuan The neighborhood where old factories were renovated is particularly photogenic, with its red walls and blue sky, it is super beautiful and there are many unique cultural and creative shops. free It is recommended to go early as there are few people 【Not recommended】 ❌Porcelain Palace Small, far away, lots of people ❌Ancient kiln ❌Fuliang Ancient County Government ❌Bingding wood kiln The above are really not recommended by me personally..., personal suggestions 🍽️About eating In the past few days in Jingdezhen, I basically ate everything recommended online. Let me tell you what you think. ‼ ️Beef bone meal is actually not a delicacy in Jingdezhen, but it has been everywhere in the past two years. If you like it, you can try it. ‼ ️Lele Food Stall and Ouji, these two queue kings, have no faults, but they are not so amazing, especially Ouji, there are actually many pre-made dishes. ‼ ️The stir-fried snacks you can eat on the roadside are very delicious. You can try not to look at the guide and find a few places to eat on your own. You may be surprised.

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.
