This is not the Kamo River from a simple life, but the world’s porcelain capital, Jingdezhen 🫖

When I was scrolling, I saw some netizens complaining about Jingdezhen, so I posted my travel photos under the thread. Many friends said that picture 1 looks very much like Japan, so I decided to update a travel guide for Jingdezhen. I happened to take my annual leave last month and spent 2 days and 1 night in Jingdezhen. My impression was quite good. I think it is a town full of culture and natural beauty. Below, I will share my personal feelings and itinerary from this short trip, and also offer a small travel guide for those planning to visit the Porcelain Capital in the future. At the end of the pictures, I use the “Speechless Buddha” to close the post, dedicated to every hardworking friend. Before departure: Choose the right time and allocate enough time for this trip. My suggestion is if you have enough time, choose 3 days and 2 nights; the shortest should be 2 days and 1 night. Remember to check the weather forecast before you go. Transportation: I recommend taking the high-speed train. For city touring, I highly recommend renting an electric scooter (there is an official Hello Chuxing store right after you exit the high-speed train station). The cost is 40 yuan per day, battery swaps are free, and it’s very cost-effective. For a county-level city, electric scooters are a very good choice. Picture 1: Changjiang, location marked on picture 7. If the weather is good, the photos will turn out great. Walking along Changjiang and recalling the past, you’ll find it’s not hard to slow down time. After crossing the bridge is the China Helicopter Design and Research Institute, where you can take photos with kids next to the helicopter statue. Pictures 2 and 3: Sanbao Village, location marked on picture 8. There are many check-in spots at the entrance of Sanbao Village, such as the gas cylinder, but I chose to walk further inside where you’ll find an ancient building quietly nestled by the creek. Picture 4: Imperial Kiln Factory, location marked on picture 9. As a popular attraction in Jingdezhen, it’s highly recommended to visit. The site is large and divided into different areas. You can treat it like a park and enjoy it slowly, rather than spending time queuing for photos at trendy spots. When you get tired, you can rest on bamboo chairs under the bamboo pavilion of small vendors. The sunlight casts on the climbing ivy on the bluestone slabs, and you might even play a game of chess or Gomoku with strangers. Finally: If you have enough time, the China Ceramics Museum is also a good choice. I suggest first going to the rooftop to see the Speechless Buddha exhibition hall, then return to the second floor to learn about the history and culture of ceramics. As for food, as a Jiangxi native, I feel Jingdezhen doesn’t have anything particularly special in terms of cuisine. Local friends can add more suggestions. I recommend Fuzhou Nong! There are many snacks, and they are affordable and inexpensive.
