Just got back from Jingdezhen, the only attraction that exceeded expectations without any disappointment

Jingdezhen is really popular this year. I went to Taoxichuan and Taoyangli, and both were packed to the brim, with crowds everywhere in every photo [crying laughing][crying laughing][crying laughing] and long lines!! Until I came to this Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Expo Area, which was a real pleasant surprise! Truly worthy of being a top 5A attraction✨ I don’t understand why some people gave bad reviews; mainly they complained about the ticket price. If you buy it online a day in advance, it’s 85 RMB, which I think is very worth it. There are also discounts for seniors and students. The main thing is that it’s ridiculously uncrowded, with most areas basically reserved for you alone. The scent of osmanthus flowers drifts along the way, and the leaves have all turned yellow, full of autumn vibes! The yellow and red leaves against the blue bricks and black tiles, plus the Jiangnan water town atmosphere, make every casual photo look like an ancient-style masterpiece! Wearing Hanfu here is like a perfect time travel experience! 🍂 3 legendary photo spots even beginners can fill their memory cards 1. Autumn scene frame beside the Qing Dynasty town kiln: The old kiln with its red brick dome is super textured! Squat at the kiln entrance and shoot from a low angle so the yellow and red leaves on the treetops just touch the kiln’s edge, with sunlight filtering through the branches onto the brick wall— the light and shadow are breathtaking. 2. Water pavilion reflection shot: Choose a pavilion near the lake as the background. Around 3-4 PM when the sunlight slants, the lake surface reflects the pavilion corner and tree shadows. Stand on the steps wearing light-colored modern Chinese style clothes, and when the wind blows your hair, it’s simply legendary. 3. Folk ancient building atmosphere: Weathered old walls with red lanterns, vines crawling over the eaves with a touch of autumn color. Capture candid side profiles or moments of touching the wall while walking, and the vintage vibe is instantly maxed out—no posing needed. 📝 My personal tips (avoid pitfalls + save trouble) • Save 10 RMB on tickets: Don’t buy on-site! Book online a day in advance for only 85 RMB, on-site is 95 RMB. Students and seniors get half price✅ • Lighting secret: Come in the afternoon, the sunset light is absolutely beautiful! • Camping treasure spot: Choose a pavilion by the water away from the main road, bring some snacks and you can rest for hours. Remember to take your trash with you～ 📍 Basic info Address: No. 1 Guyao Road, Cidu Avenue, Jingdezhen City Hours: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry at 5 PM, recommend spending 4 hours) Transport: Bus routes 16/23 go directly, taxi or driving is more convenient, plenty of parking available The ancient kiln in autumn is truly stunning beyond words! The scent of osmanthus mixed with the charm of old porcelain shards, few people and beautiful scenery that’s perfect for photos—this trip was definitely worth it [tears] This is the only attraction in Jingdezhen that exceeded expectations! Surprises hidden in the porcelain capital stay!
