The Jingdezhen Handicraft Porcelain Industry Sites were inscribed on the World Heritage List on Saturday, during the 48th Session of the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO in Busan, becoming China’s 61st World Heritage Site.

Comprising five component sites, they present the complete porcelain-making process and trace the development of Jingdezhen's handicraft porcelain industry from the 10th to the 19th centuries.

The sites showcase the profound influence of Chinese porcelain on technology, art and global cultural exchange. Jingdezhen's iconic blue-and-white porcelain and its distinctive motifs have become enduring symbols of Chinese craftsmanship and culture.
