An aerial view of the ruins of a kaolin clay mine in Jingdezhen's Yaoli town, Jiangxi province. "Historical ruins have been transformed into a lively place for living, shopping and culture, while ensuring that the past can still be felt everywhere," says Zhang Jie, professor of architecture at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Zhang's team and other architecture firms have also helped Jingdezhen redevelop an extensive area of old, large factory buildings as a new mixed-use quarter called Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue. "Our approaches are aimed at preserving Jingdezhen's historical landscape, including the ancient residential buildings along the Changjiang River, workshops, lanes, public facilities and ancient wharves," Zhang says. China's National Cultural Heritage Administration has sent four teams from the National Center for Archaeology, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Peking University and the Palace Museum to help Jingdezhen find the underground relics.
