Not inferior to Wuzhen and Zhouzhuang, this thousand-year-old ancient town is truly a hidden gem!

The treasure land in my heart has finally revealed itself—Jingdezhen, a small city that planted a mysterious seed in my heart since childhood. The ceramic street lamps my mother spoke of in my childhood, now seen with my own eyes, I realize she was not exaggerating, and it is far more than that. Jingdezhen is not only renowned for its ceramics but also rich in historical and cultural heritage. Walking through it, the atmosphere of humanity and art hits you, the ancient villages are like a paradise, and the thousand-year-old town tells the story of its past glory. The markets filled with whimsical ideas are dazzling, and every little item reveals the craftsmanship and wisdom of the artisans. To fully appreciate the charm of Jingdezhen, I meticulously planned a three-day, two-night trip. On the first day, starting with the lively atmosphere of Fuzhou Lane, then to the profoundness of the China Ceramics Museum, and the imperial kiln twilight in Taoyangli, every place left me enchanted. On the second day, the unique style of Sanbao Village, the ancient techniques of Bingding Wood Kiln, the bustling market of the Sculpture Porcelain Factory, and the artistic vibe of Taoxichuan, all made me reluctant to leave. On the third day, the serene beauty of Yaoli Ancient Town, the tea fragrance of the Tang Tea Market, and the unique landscape of the Earth Lamp, all put a perfect end to my journey. In Jingdezhen, there are a few places you absolutely cannot miss. Sanbao Village, a place full of creativity and inspiration, with attractions like the Gas Cylinder, the Internet-famous Kiln, the Sanbao Peng Art Museum, and Bukong Mountain, all dazzling. The China Ceramics Museum, remember to book in advance, and once inside, go to the sixth floor to see the Silent Buddha, which will surely inspire awe. Yaoli Ancient Town, like a flowing landscape painting, reminds one of Fang Wenshan's line "Sky blue waits for the misty rain," and here, you can indeed wait for that misty rain beauty. Additionally, the Imperial Kiln Museum in Taoyangli, the lively market of the Sculpture Porcelain Factory, the exquisite shops of Taoxichuan, and the glass-blowing experience at Offline Space are all must-visit places. Especially Offline Space, where you can DIY your own glass-blowing works and take the finished product home, the sense of achievement is indescribable. Moreover, their new store is near the China Ceramics Museum, named after constellations, very creative. Finally, some tips for friends planning to visit Jingdezhen: remember to book the museum three days in advance; Yaoli Ancient Town and other scenic spots are relatively far, it is recommended to hire a car or rent a car to visit; and Fuzhou Lane is an excellent place to taste local delicacies, such as beef bone noodles, lye cakes, and cold noodles, waiting for you to try. Jingdezhen, a place I regret not discovering earlier, but fortunately, I finally met it. This beauty, I will cherish forever.
