Tao Yi Longzhu | A Rainy Encounter with Jingdezhen's Millennia-Old Porcelain Charm

| A rainy encounter with Jingdezhen's millennia-old porcelain charm. In the porcelain capital of Jingdezhen, finding accommodation that blends historical depth with modern comfort is key—and Tao Yi Longzhu Hotel is the perfect choice. Nestled in the Tao Yangli Historical and Cultural District, this hotel, with its unique charm, offered me a time-traveling stay experience. The hotel rooms are housed in distinctive two-story standalone courtyards, each preserving the rustic elegance of the old architecture. Each courtyard features four rooms, and upon opening the door, you're greeted by modern yet tasteful interiors that perfectly fuse tradition with contemporary style. The cozy, well-appointed rooms and thoughtful amenities make you feel right at home. On the day of my arrival, a gentle rain was falling. The raindrops pattered on the blue-gray tiles, splashing into tiny droplets that added a poetic touch to the old buildings. Standing at the doorway, I gazed at Tao Yangli through the rain—the alleys and shops faintly visible in the mist, like an ink-wash painting, serene and beautiful. After exploring the hotel, I couldn't wait to discover the nearby treasures👇 🏛️ Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum: The architecture is incredibly unique, featuring eight curved reinforced concrete vaults of varying sizes and lengths, arranged in a staggered layout as if they'd grown from history itself. Inside, countless precious artifacts are displayed, and standing before them, you can almost see the stories of a thousand years of kiln fires come to life. 🏯 Longzhu Pavilion: This iconic landmark of Jingdezhen truly shines at night. As the lights come on, the pavilion glows brilliantly against the backdrop of ancient-style architecture, transporting you back in time. As night fell and the rain eased, Tao Yangli unveiled its stunning nighttime scenery. The centuries-old alleyways, illuminated by lights reflecting off the wet stone paths, shimmered with color. Every stone beneath my feet, every weathered wall beside me—along with the Ming and Qing kiln workshops and ceramic industrial heritage—immersed me in the past and present of porcelain culture. The hotel offers a lavish Chinese-Western buffet breakfast, though I missed the serving window on my second day. Despite this, the kind restaurant staff went out of their way to prepare a meal for me—service here is truly exceptional! Choosing this hotel and these attractions in Jingdezhen is a sure bet! You'll enjoy both comfortable lodging and a deep dive into the allure of this millennia-old porcelain capital~
