3-Day Jingdezhen Porcelain Tour: China’s china heritage

Why is China Called "China"?

In the 18th century, when the world was in a craze for porcelain (also called china) from China, the French Jesuit Father d'Entrecolles spent nearly a decade in Jingdezhen as he struggled to figure out how to make China's porcelain. This tour is a must for china lovers and porcelain enthusiasts!

Our 3-day trip to Jingdezhen will help you delve into the heritage of the porcelain capital of the world, discover the best-kept secret of China, and understand why china is called "china".
