After visiting Jingdezhen 6 times, here are the latest tips to avoid pitfalls in Jingdezhen

Jingdezhen is world-famous as the 'Porcelain Capital', known for 'a city of porcelain, half a city of kilns', with an unparalleled number of porcelain kilns in the world. If you're planning a trip to Jingdezhen, here are the latest 20 tips to avoid pitfalls shared with everyone～ . 1. Friends going to Jingdezhen can take the high-speed train directly there, or fly to Jingdezhen or Nanchang and then take the high-speed train to Jingdezhen. 2. Friends heading to Yaoli Ancient Town for the azure misty rain don't need to buy a ticket; don't directly purchase the 150 yuan pass as it's purely a waste of money. Buy it when you reach a spot that requires ticket verification. 3. The Imperial Kiln Museum (more beautiful at night) was designed by architect Zhu Pei and was named one of the 'Top 10 Museum Buildings in the World in 2020'. They don't allow entry after 9:30 pm, and after 10 pm, the most popular photo spot is not crowded. 4. Bingding Wood Kiln is quite small, but the architecture is still beautiful. It's far from the city center, so consider the long journey before going. It's hard to hail a taxi in the mountains on the way back, so it's recommended to drive or hire a car. 5. Yaoli Ancient Town is quite crowded, not as niche as written online, and rather commercialized. However, it's quite beautiful if you go early in the morning. For dining, choose a restaurant by the river. 6. The prices at Taoxi Chuan ceramics are on the expensive side. It's better to visit in the evening. Night market: every Saturday and Sunday 16:00-21:30; Taoxi Chuan Art Museum: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-20:00 (closed on Mondays, tickets required). 7. China Ceramic Museum opening hours: 9:00—17:00, closed on Mondays. Among the many museums in Jingdezhen, it has the richest collection and best expresses the entire historical context of the thousand-year-old Porcelain Capital. 8. The tea gardens in Hanxi Village, Fuliang, Jingdezhen are very beautiful, with the 'Lamp of the Earth' niche art exhibition, but remember to eat well before going as there's basically nothing to eat there. 9. Friends who like photography and want to capture the uninhabited internet-famous bridge in Yaoli Ancient Town should either get up early or navigate to Baishita Village Committee, where there are many similar bridges that are mostly deserted and very pristine. 10. Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Expo Area ticket: 95 yuan/person, opening hours: 8:00-17:00. If you have enough time, you can visit ancient porcelain workshops, Qing dynasty town kilns, and Ming dynasty gourd kilns. 11. If you want to experience pottery making, go to the Sculpture Porcelain Factory, where there are many places to do pottery. 12. If you want to browse markets, it's recommended to go to Lotte Market, which now requires a ticket. The quality of the stallholders is higher, and the prices are relatively cheaper. You can find some cute trinkets. The opening hours are every Saturday from 9:00 to 12:00. 13. When in Jingdezhen, you must try the deep-fried dough sticks wrapped in glutinous rice. The best-tasting ones in Jingdezhen are at Chengxin Fried Dough Stick Shop, 3.5 yuan each, worth a try. 14. When visiting Jingdezhen, you must experience kiln making and glass blowing. There are places for kiln making near Yaoli, Sanbao, and the Ceramic University. 15. If you like to stroll leisurely, you can go to Sanbao Village. Sanbao Village is not big, and the photogenic spots are mainly near 'Sanbao Art Museum', with blue and white porcelain zebra crossings and pottery wall, which are great for photos.
