Jingdezhen is a world-famous "porcelain capital" in east China's Jiangxi Province. The city has four national-level industrial heritage sites. In the past few years, Jingdezhen has advanced the protection and utilization of industrial heritage, injecting new vitality to the city's development.

The old workshops in Taoxichuan industrial heritage complex have been transformed into art museums, galleries, livestreaming workshops, traditional ceramic workshops, restaurants and hotels.

Cultural relics unearthed from the imperial kiln site, an industrial heritage site which dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), are on display at the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Institute, which is located next door to the imperial kiln relics site.
