City Profile
Jingdezhen · The Porcelain Capital
Jingdezhen, the world-renowned “Porcelain Capital,” is an artistic city forged by a millennium of kiln fire. Famous for its porcelain production since the Song Dynasty, it became the site of the imperial kilns during the Ming and Qing dynasties, widely known across history as the “Porcelain Capital.” The entire city resembles a living museum of ceramics, with key attractions including the Jingdezhen China Ceramics Museum—showcasing masterpieces from official kilns through the ages—the Ancient Kiln & Folk Customs Museum where traditional porcelain-making processes are still preserved, and the creative, inspiration-filled Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative Art District.
