Attractions in and around Jingdezhen include;
Jingdezhen Old Street is located in the center of Jingdezhen. The street is composed of three parts: Ming Street, Qing Street and the Old Pier. Ming Street was established in the Ming Dynasty (1271-1368) and is about 90 meters (about 295 feet) long and 3 meters (about 9.8 feet) wide. This arch-shaped street is paved with blue bricks, which are put together and arranged in the shape of turtle shells. The old buildings flanking the sides of the street are, like the rest of the street, very well preserved and have survived more than 600 years. Qing Street was established in the Qing Dynasty (1368-1644) and is much longer and wider than the Ming Street. It is 231 meters (about 758 feet) long and about 4 meters (about 13 feet) wide and is paved with long blue flagstones. The ruts on the stones were created by the old-fashioned wheelbarrows that were in common use in the past. This street was a very prosperous commercial area during the Qing Dynasty and the shops, teahouses and residences along side of the street are well preserved. The Old Pier is made up of three layers of blue stones. Since the Ming Dynasty it has been an important pier for ferries. From here the porcelain of Jingdezhen was transported to important homes across China and around the world. Located on this ancient pier is the Sanlumiao Temple that was established to memorialize the poet, Qu Yuan.
The Ceramic History Museum is located in Panlongshan in the western suburb of Jingdezhen. The museum has a collection of over 5,000 articles and items on display include ceramics from past dynasties, collections of paintings and calligraphy. Two gardens in the museum contain ancient kiln-workshops, ancient kilns, and ancient structures that were originally scattered throughout Jingdezhen City but have now been collected here. Near the Qing Garden are a group of kiln-workshops in which the ceramics are manufactured and visitors can watch the manufacturing process as well as experience the process themselves. The annual 'Jingdezhen National Ceramic Festival' begins on October 12th each year and lasts for one month.
Leping (near Jingdezhen) is the birthplace of Gan Opera, and there are 217 opera stages here, with some from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with many of them being well preserved. Location：Leping City, Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province.
The old Fuliang County was established during the Tang Dynasty in 817 A.D. and was once a center of politics, economy and culture due to the porcelain and tea industries in the area, two of the most important commodities in ancient China. The Red Pagoda, also known as The West Tower, stands on a hill at the western edge of the ruins of the ancient county town of Fuliang in present-day Jingdezhen. One of the most ancient Song Dynasty pagodas in Jiangxi it is known as the Red Pagoda because of the reddish color of the bricks it is built of. Originally constructed in 961AD, the six-sided pagoda has nine floors and reaches a height of almost 43 meters.
The Ancient County Government Office in Fuliang is the only well-preserved of its kind south of the Yangtze River. Built during the Qing Dynasty it exhibits the architecture and the regime and system of the Qing.
