This homestay is highly recommended for visitors to Jingdezhen! The hosts are a lovely couple who work hard to make your experience one that’s better than hotels a magnitude higher in cost
The location is excellent, as it is located opposite the taoxichuan complex which is great for the night market. In addition, many of the city’s bus services run nearby making it affordable to travel to the major attractions
The rooms are newly furnished with modern equipment (even a projector to watch TV with a complimentary VIP subscription to a Chinese Netflix equivalent). The hosts also offered free use of their electric scooter during my time here, as well as a free pottery session at a nearby workshop
I cannot recommend them highly enough as the value you get from staying here far exceeds the cost, and most importantly, they are great people with a big heart who will look after you during your time with them

A Charming and Convenient Stay in Jingdezhen!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Caoye Ziyou Hostel and had a truly wonderful, five-star experience. Its location is absolutely unbeatable, situated right near the Jingdezhen People Square and within the beautiful Taoyangli Scenic Area. This made exploring the city's key attractions, especially the ceramic culture sites, incredibly easy and convenient.
Key Highlights:
• Prime Location: Being in the Taoyangli Scenic Area means you step out right into a charming environment with local shops and historical ambiance. It's a fantastic base for sightseeing and soaking up the local atmosphere.
• Comfortable & Unique Vibe: The hostel itself has a lovely, artistic, and relaxed atmosphere. It's well-maintained and feels very cozy. The common areas are great for relaxing and meeting other travelers.
• Cleanliness: My room (or the general facilities) was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Everything felt fresh and well-cared for.
• Friendly Staff: The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming. They offered great local tips for dining and transportation, which significantly enhanced my trip. Their hospitality made me feel right at home.
Would I recommend it?
Absolutely! I highly recommend the Caoye Ziyou Hostel! For anyone visiting Jingdezhen, especially those interested in the history and art of ceramics, this hostel offers an excellent blend of convenience, comfort, and unique local charm. It's great value for money and a truly memorable place to stay.
