The ceramic walls and firewood kiln ruins along the way are full of stories. 🚗 Congestion Avoidance Guide Congestion-prone sections: Changjiang Avenue, the bridgehead of Cidu Bridge, Taoxichuan intersection, and Sanbao section. It is recommended to travel during off-peak hours (avoid 9:00-11:00/15:00-18:00). Construction detours: The entire section of Shengli Road is closed, and part of Zhushan Avenue is semi-closed. Self-driving requires real-time attention to navigation updates. Highway discounts: Free highways from April 4th to 6th (7-seater and below passenger cars). If you are going to Wuyuan to see the rapeseed flowers, it is recommended to get off the highway at the Xitou exit to avoid congestion. 📸 Photography & Experience Guide 1. Immersive Ceramic Culture Tour: Experience pottery making at Taoxichuan and create your own unique porcelain (RMB 50-80 per person). Explore the China Ceramics Museum to see the evolution of porcelain through the ages. Remember to wear plain clothes to take high-end silhouette photos. 2. Spring Limited Scenery: Fuliang Tea Garden: Qingming is the tea picking season. Wear a bamboo hat and carry a bamboo basket to transform into a tea-picking girl and take idyllic blockbusters. Porcelain Palace: A round palace inlaid with colorful porcelain pieces. Use a wide-angle lens to shoot the dome upwards for a magical effect. 🍜 Local Food Recommendations Cold Noodles + Dumpling Cake: The standard Jingdezhen breakfast. I recommend "Lao Zhang Fried Dumplings" in Daijia Alley. Chili radish is the soul! Shuiba Fried Eggs: A special snack made from rice milk, chewy and a must-order at night food stalls. Kuzhu Tofu: Made from mountain wild fruits, cool and refreshing, perfect with chili sauce. Popular Coffee Shops: "Bukong Mountain" in Sanbao Village, a Japanese-style courtyard with hand-drip coffee, full of photographic atmosphere.
