Zhushan (Mount Pearl) has been the symbol of Jingdezhen for ages. On the mountain top is Dragon Peal Pavilion, which was built in Tang Dynasty, but was destroyed and restored for several times. The newly-restored Dragon Pearl Pavilion is imposing structure of red bricks with upturned double-eaved roofs covered by yellow glazed tiles. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial ceramic plants were set up here; officials were appointed and made to reside at the plants supervising the production of porcelain wares for the use of the imperial court. The pavilion was the representative building of the plant then, but has now become an important landmark of Jingdezhen, In the pavilion, a restored layout model of the imperial ceramic plant is presented. Along with it is an exhibition of the unearthed imperial ceramic wares produced at the prime of Ming Dynasty.
