General presentation
Nanchang
The capital of Jiangxi, Nanchang combines literary pavilion, revolutionary memory and large urban lakes on the Gan River.
The discovery of Nanchang is built around the Pavilion of Prince Teng, Jiangxi Provincial Museum and Memorial of the August 1 uprising. The stay thus alternates between the big city, urban life, heritage and riverscapes, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Pavillon du prince Teng
The reconstructed high tower dominates the Gan and commemorates a famous text by Wang Bo. An early-day tour allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Museum
Musée provincial du Jiangxi
The collections present bronzes, ceramics and discoveries of the sea kingdom of Haihun. The collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Mémorial du soulèvement du 1er août
A former museum hotel tells of the communist insurgency of 1927. Collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit to the museum helps to understand their regional historical context.
Lake
Lac Qingshan
Walks and parks surround a large body of water to the northeast of the centre. Season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
