Located in the South-East region of China, Jiangxi province is not only known for its scenic beauty--Jiangxi is home of both Lu Shan (mountain) and Puyong (lake)--it is also famous the world over for its porcelain art. Considered by many to be the Porcelain Capital of the World, Jingdezhen is a small but lively city in Northeastern Jiangxi province. Ceramics were produced here as many as 1,800 years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Mass-produced porcelain is readily available in the downtown areas, and fine art studios and galleries are open to the public.
