Letter from Global Village｜Third Visit to Jingdezhen, Please Keep This Nanny-Level Guide!

As a "ceramics capital old fan" visiting Jingdezhen for the third time, I’ve packed my personally tested and effective travel experiences into this guide, covering everything from luggage, transportation, accommodation to food, breaking it down comprehensively so every minute you spend in the ceramics capital is well worth it~

🔖 Luggage Preparation: Pack Light, Only Bring Essentials

• Documents: ID card (core credential) + student ID (great for attraction discounts)

• Electronics: Power bank (essential for eating, shopping, and shooting), charger, phone, earphones, camera (to capture ceramic art and old street scenes)

• Toiletries: Minimal skincare and makeup (plan according to trip length to avoid heavy luggage)

• Clothing: Big temperature difference in Jingdezhen, bring warm layers (sweater/thick sweatshirt/coat) + lightweight down jacket + knit hat to handle cool mornings and evenings and warm midday

🚦 Transportation Tips: Choose the Right Tools to Unlock Freedom in the Ceramics Capital

• Arrival

◦ Jingdezhen North Station: The underground parking lot at the south square is the most convenient for taxis, avoiding surface crowds and quickly connecting to the city.

◦ Jingdezhen Luojia Airport: Only 20 minutes from downtown, take a taxi straight to your hotel upon landing for maximum efficiency.

• Getting Around the City

◦ Ride-hailing: The first choice for city commuting, transparent pricing, available on demand.

◦ Rent an electric scooter: The soul choice for exploring the ceramics capital! Visit pottery studios in Sanbao Village, shuttle through old streets and alleys in the city—riding a little electric scooter maximizes atmosphere and freedom (remember to choose a model with long battery life).

◦ Taxi: Suitable for distant suburban attractions, negotiate the fare in advance to avoid “fixed price” traps.

🏡 Accommodation Recommendations: Choose the Right Location to Double Your Travel Efficiency

• Around Taoxichuan: My family booked the Jingdezhen Taoxichuan Boge Hotel, which offers thoughtful chrysanthemum tea drinks. Within walking distance to Taoxichuan Night Market, Sculpture Porcelain Factory, and Pottery Street. Spend the day exploring porcelain factories and handmade crafts, and the evening enjoying the Taoxichuan cultural and creative market—a perfect base for art lovers.

• Pitfall Warning: Unless you plan a deep dive into Sanbao Village, avoid staying around Sanbao Village. It’s far from downtown with limited facilities and inconvenient transportation.
