Inside Yaoli, where China's kilns first burned

Long before Jingdezhen became a global household name, it was known by its ancient name, Yaoli, or "inside the kilns." As the birthplace of Chinese ceramics, this legendary town has earned the moniker "source of porcelain, home of tea and sea of forests."

Today, as a national historical and cultural town, Yaoli ancient town remains frozen in a living ink-wash masterpiece. Nestled within a national forest and mining park, its remarkably preserved Ming and Qing architecture lines the emerald Yao River. Step off the modern grid and discover the rare convergence of history and pristine nature that shaped the artistic pulse of China. #Jingdezhen
