Car rental: Rented from xc, picked up at the airport entrance, very convenient.
Accommodation: Stayed at a homestay in Sanbao Village, Xingshan Xiyuan, with a Japanese style, Kyoto vibe, a tea room, and good tea. The breakfast includes delicious youtiao and rice cakes, and the beef noodles are also amazing; there are many fish in the courtyard pond, and two big white ducks, which are so endearing. The kids always go to the housekeeper to ask for food to feed them, and they never tire of playing.
Tip: If you're playing in Sanbao Village, a small electric scooter is essential. The housekeeper has the rental location and phone number. It's the very impressive one at the entrance of the village, about an eight-minute walk away.
There is a pottery art studio opposite the homestay, more expensive than in Beijing, but it's convenient and close. Play:
We chose to play in Sanbao Village for two days, turning right out of the homestay's main gate, and we chose to do it in reverse order.
First, we rode to the farthest Sanbao Ceramic Art Village Museum, where there's an internet-famous wall. There are quite a few cars on the road, so be careful when taking photos. Actually, there are many places along the road with designs of porcelain jars embedded in the walls, which I don't recommend if there are too many people.
There are also some quite nice Japanese-style buildings in this area.
Then we rode back to the Sanbao Peng Art Museum. This is actually a very large art district, with the art museum on the outside, and various art studios selling porcelain inside, so each place is very well designed, and you can see different kinds of beauty.
By the way, I particularly like the architecture and culture of Jingdezhen, which are all very elegant and comfortable.
If you walk further inside, you can see the Bu Kong Mountain. When you go in to take photos, you should at least order some tea. The environment is just a tea room on the first floor, and on the second floor, they sell some porcelain (all from Japanese designers). The courtyard is the place where everyone checks in, and in a second, you're transported to Kyoto. Personally, I don't think it's suitable for drinking tea, as there are too many people taking photos and it's chaotic. The tea is just so-so.
The art museum is also full of people taking photos, and I don't really understand art, but I find the exhibits quite beautiful, and maybe the stories behind them are also captivating...
Next, going back, there's a green lawn with kites for sale. You must bargain, as this place is really suitable for flying kites, and nowhere else later on compares. Plus, there's a newly built Huizhou-style architecture behind it, which is also photogenic.
Then there's the coffee factory. Here I suggest stopping the scooter and walking around, it's about 100 meters of road, with very distinctive shops, selling porcelain, green plants, pottery, and places to pet cats... At night, there's live singing, which is quite good, but the coffee is just average. Eat: Passed by Xunwei Sanbao twice and both times were told to wait at least an hour and a half, so we gave up.
We ate at Shi Ye, ordered the black chicken pot, which was a pleasant surprise, the soup was rich and fragrant, the tripe was plentiful and delicious, and the fried chicken cutlet is also recommended, no disappointments.
Also had a BBQ, grilled yellowfish, shrimp, oysters, and beef ribs are recommended.
Yixi Huan Yan, quite suitable for taking photos, but the food is really not commendable. Right next to the homestay.
Tip: The places where you see queues for photos are some of the internet-famous check-in spots, obvious at a glance. Found that there are a lot fewer people at night, and the photos taken with the lights on are also good.
