The cradle of China's revolution, Nanchang is a beautiful, relaxed city with stunning natural attractions on its doorstep. Whether you are a history obsessive or a passionate hiker, you'll find something to adore in the "Heroes City".
In 1927, Nanchang was the site of the first rebellion by China's communists - a momentous event that is commemorated in style, particularly at the HQ of the uprising, which is now a fascinating museum.
Nanchang doesn't lack for historical architecture, including the Tengwang Pavilion, a remarkable 9-floor structure that is probably the city's icon.
Once the world's largest Ferris wheel, the Star of Nanchang is still impressive, soaring 520 feet into the sky and affording wonderful views.
From a base at Nanchang, you can get to unforgettable attractions like Poyang Lake (with its huge bird population) and Jingdezhen, known as the "Porcelain Capital" of China.
It's easy to relax in Nanchang's parks like Badashanren Meihu Lake, with its immaculately composed bamboo, pine, and plum-themed gardens.
Spring is the ideal time to visit Nanchang. The trees will be in full bloom, the weather is fine and the city celebrates its Dragon Boat Festival (in early May).
