Jingdezhen Day 1｜From the Rivers and Lakes of Poyang Lake to the Millennium Kiln Fire of the Imperial Kiln

Saying goodbye to Nanchang, we drove to the long-awaited "Porcelain Capital" Jingdezhen. The first day of the journey unfolded between the vastness of the rivers and lakes and the splendor of the kiln fire.

🚗 Itinerary Overview
· Morning: Nanchang → Poyang Lake
· Afternoon/Night: Taoyangli Historical Tourism Area → Imperial Kiln Museum

📍 Detailed Experience
🌿 Morning: Encounter the "Grassland Secret Realm" of Poyang Lake
On the way from Nanchang to Jingdezhen, we made a stop at Poyang Lake. Although we didn’t see the vast waters of the flood season, we unexpectedly entered an endless "sky grassland." The wind blowing over the grass waves and the vast sky create a healing scenery hard to find in the city, perfect for stunning photos. 📸

🏺 Evening: Immerse in the Heart of the Porcelain Capital, Encounter the Night Scene of the Imperial Kiln
After arriving in the city, we headed straight to Taoyangli (Tip: Tickets purchased on Trip.com are valid for three days and include the Imperial Kiln Museum and Longzhu Pavilion, a great value!). Entering the park at dusk, we witnessed the moment the Longzhu Pavilion lit up. The reflection of the Imperial Kiln in the water and the red brick arches create a scene that feels like traveling back six hundred years to the imperial kiln site, breathtakingly beautiful. 🌉

💡 Practical Tips
1️⃣ Reservation is key: The Imperial Kiln Museum requires a separate entry time reservation; nighttime is popular, so plan ahead.
2️⃣ Capture the golden hour: Half an hour before and after sunset is the best time to photograph the Imperial Kiln, with the blue hour night scene especially dreamy.

📝 Day 1 Itinerary: From the vast grass sea of Poyang Lake to the millennium kiln fire of the Imperial Kiln, Jingdezhen paints a picture beyond expectations with rivers, lakes, and epic history. Highly recommended to experience in person! 👍
