Getting there
Getting to Jingdezhen: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Jingdezhen Luojia Airport (JDZ), about 5.6 km from the city centre in a straight line; Huangshan Tunxi International Airport (TXN, 113 km) and Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport (SQD, 126 km) are also within reach.
Getting around
Taxis are the easiest way, the meter starts at ¥6 and is billed to ¥0.1 but rounded either up or down. ie. ¥4.3 = ¥4, ¥8.7 = ¥9. Do not be fooled into taking a fixed fare for ¥10 or more as almost everywhere in the city will cost less. There is also a public bus service, with very frequent buses at least until 23:00. If you manage to get a route plan, it is a quite fascinating way to get where you want while having a better sightseeing than from a taxi, if you can stand being watched at yourself. Very low standard rate, like in Beijing, ¥1 in a box for each trip.
