Avoid the Summer Rush: Visit Jingdezhen Off-Season

You won't have to squeeze through crowds to admire ceramics. Stroll leisurely along the streets of Taoxichuan, exploring the studios where the owners are more than happy to share their creative stories. At the Letian Ceramic Market, you can take your time picking out your favorite trinkets without the hassle of jostling with others. Find a cozy little café near a kiln, order a cup of coffee, and quietly watch the artisans craft ceramics—it's incredibly soothing. Accommodation is also easier to find. The place I stayed at had spacious, clean rooms at a reasonable price, and the owner was super friendly, even recommending some local eateries loved by residents. If you want to try your hand at making ceramics, just walk into any workshop. The artisans are patient and willing to teach you, no need to wait in line. In the evening, head to Yaoli Ancient Town. It's serene and picturesque, with small bridges and flowing water that look like a painting. You can take photos without worrying about avoiding crowds. Visiting outside the summer holiday season elevates the experience to a whole new level 💯! You can truly feel the slow-paced lifestyle of Jingdezhen—it's absolutely delightful. Highly recommend staying at Fengyue Hotel (Jingdezhen Fuliang Sanxian Lake Provincial Wetland Park Branch).
