Jingdezhen has two ceramic markets: Taoxichuan and Lotte Market
Both offer a good selection of items, but there are some differences.
Let's start with the first one!
1️⃣📌For traditional porcelain enthusiasts, head to 📍Taoxichuan first, where you can find many high-end traditional porcelains like blue and white porcelain and Jianzhan. The area is highly commercialized with a new and well-planned district. The cultural and creative district that opens in the afternoon is somewhat younger

🌟The evening market is the best time to visit, with three lanes of stalls.
The categories are quite mixed, ranging from blue and white porcelain to Jianzhan to hand-pinched ceramics. Porcelain enthusiasts of all kinds can find something they like.

✨✨Highly recommend the stalls run by college students, which are very distinctive and popular among students. Some items are very handmade (some may be too niche, depending on personal taste), including some that are very unique and non-commercial.

2️⃣Lotte Market

🌟Open until 12 noon, buy tickets in advance: Lotte Tao Society
The stalls here are very compact, selling products in series, like small-scale batch-produced items by young designers. The creative ceramic design elements and color matching are also quite harmonious, and I personally think the overall aesthetic is more superior.

✨✨After the market ends, the buyer's store Zhouguo is also worth a visit, featuring a collection of various designers' works. The quality and aesthetics of the merchandise are very stable, including some Japanese designer pieces.
Additionally, the entire street outside Lotte Tao Society is lined with ceramic shops, similar but worth a stroll if you have time.
