老街

陶瓷包裹的电线杆，陶瓷包裹的天桥，这些霸气的特征，显示了这座城市陶瓷产业的庞大，非一般的景象

嗯，不错的地方。值得一观，有一些很有意思的店铺。and 价位也还合适。

不如想象中那么繁荣了，我在想几百年前，这应该是一个人来人往的大市场吧，南北商人都在这里聚散

总结一句就是很多卖瓷器的地方。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

里面全是买衣服鞋子的，没什么可看的。就是一个赶场的地方。除了有几个铜像，说明这里是古街，其他感觉不出来有什么意思。房子也是后面才修的

房楼真的挺不错的 。。。店面什么的。。作为一个外行。我真心分不出是原建筑还是后来公建的。。。

一条保存着古建筑的街道，有兴趣的可以照相，但如果一想去逛街的话，就别来这了，实在没有什么值得逛的店。

整体感觉就是仿古商业步行街，说实话，并没有景德镇的特色，商店和小吃都是全国一样的

很多卖瓷器的地方，城区比较小，基本就在桥两头，沿河两岸。住的锦江之星，经济实惠，一楼的餐厅赞，好吃又便宜

老街虽然别有韵味，路灯，垃圾筒，雕塑，通通都是陶瓷的，但市容脏乱，实在不敢恭维。

在老街吃完早茶，带着各种包子，烧饼，肉脯回家喽。结束出差生涯。

All Chinese cities seem to have one of these. The upper part of the buildings did look old but at ground level the shops sold the usual Chinese rubbish. There weren't any souvenir or porcelain shops - not even anywhere for a decent coffee. My advice is to give it a miss altogether.

Before lunch, we were taken to Jingdezhen Old Street [陶瓷一條街] where we bought our souvenirs. Our tour has no tourist traps indicated in the itinerary so this must be it. I bought some cellphone trinkets for my students; we bought necklaces and bracelets for my sisters and the househelp; and my mom bought a porcelain thermos mug for Aunt F. At the Old Street, we also chanced upon many porcelain products made similar to the products of Franz, the internationally renowned Taiwanese brand. I immediately told mom those were Franz imitations but she believed otherwise. I checked the marks on the bottom and I was right. Some of the merchants even bragged that those products, though inferior in craftsmanship, are usable while the actual products of Franz can only be displayed. But I tell you, if you are familiar with Franz, you wouldn't buy those imitations. Incidentally, Franz also maintains a production facility in Jingdezhen, but its Marketing and R&D departments are in Taiwan.

It seems that many towns/cities in China have an Old Street and this one is no different. There are a mix of old and new buildings with most of the flagstone paving covered in tacky market stalls selling modern everyday goods.
