Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province, known as China's Porcelain Capital, is one of the country's most famous cultural and historic cities, with a 2,000-year history of ceramic production.
The city's Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue is a modern redevelopment of the site of a former state-run ceramics factory. The 22 old factory buildings and other industrial facilities of the original factory have been transformed into cultural landmarks that integrate tradition, fashion and modern technology.
Tourists can buy ceramic products from shops in the area, and visit the Jingdezhen Industrial Heritage Museum and the Taoxichuan Art Museum. During holidays, Taoxichuan attracts hordes of tourists from China and abroad.
