Nanchang, capital of Jiangxi Province, stands on the eastern bank of the Gan River. An ancient city, its origins lie in the Han Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. In the late 1920s Carl Crow described it as a conservative town, surrounded by a high wall which had remained impenetrable even the Taipings, protected by the city god---the Universal Lord of Happiness; although Crow’s book came out in a fifth and thoroughly revised edition in 1933 there is no reference to the uprising or the activities in the soviets.
Modern Nanchang is a pleasant and prosperous city with a growing industry, places for recreation, and many historical sites connected with the Nanchang Uprising. Historical sites include the Plum Fairy Temple, which dates bark to the western Han Dynasty, and the Hundred Flower Islet, which is in the Bayi Park and dates back to the Song Dynasty.

Brief introduction of Nanchang City
The City of Nanchang
On the southwestern shore of Poyang Lake, China's Largest fresh-water lake, the city of Nanchang has four distinct seasons and a pleasant climate. In the city proper there are the ancient Shengjin Pagoda, Ruzi Pavilion , Shui Guan Yin Pavilion and East, South, West and North Lakes. Three Rivers- Ganjiang, Fuhe and Jinjiang, flow through the city. Mt. Meiling, known as "small Lushan Mountain", lies in the west suburb of Nangchang and southwest of Poyang Lake. Streams meander among deep gorges and beautiful peaks, making Mt. Meiling an ideal summer resort. The Tengwang Tower,Shengjin Tower.
The Tengwang Tower
The number one of the three famous towers south of the Yangtze River, was built on the city wall in 653 when Li Yuanying, son of Li Yuan, Emperor Gao Zu of the Tang Dynasty was military governor there. The tower, overlooking the Yangtze River and facing the Western Hills, is double- evade structure with painted beams and vermilion windows. From the tower one can see the glorious sunset and wild ducks, the water and sky joining in the far horizon.
Shengjin Tower
First built during the reign of Tianyou in the Tang Dynasty, the Shengjin Tower is located on Shengjinta Road. It is said that an iron box was dug up while the tower was being built. In the box there were four bundles of gold ropes, three ancient swords and 300 Buddhist Relics. So it was called the Shengjin Tower. It is 58.7 meters high, and its foundation is 33.8 meters in girth. It has seven floors and eight sides. There are carved eaves and verandas on each floor and doors facing each direction. Wooden stairs lead from the ground floor to the sixth floor. On the top of the tower is a gold-plated tripod. It is the highest ancient building in the city.
Qingyunpu
first a Taoist temple over 1,000 years ago, obtained its present name in 1661 when Zhu Da (Ba Da Shan Ren) went to live there. Zhu Da was a descendent of the tenth generation of Zhu Yuanzhang, founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Zhu Da developed a school of freehand brushwork in traditional Chinese painting and became an outstanding painter and Taoism believer. His paintings are on display in Qingyunpu.
LUSAHAN MOUNTAIN RESORT
About 100 kilometres north of Nanchang lies beautiful Lushan Mountain known for its overhanging cliffs, springs and waterfalls. A beautiful mountain resort in summer, it boasts more than a dozen scenic spots, such as Lesser Heavenly Pool, Immortals' Cave and Three-stage Spring.
JINGDEZHEN
Jingdezhen, long hailed as the "capital of porcelain," is 75 miles north of Nanchang. The town has a long history, and is listed as one of the Four Great Towns of ancient China. It covers an area of 3,031 square miles, and has a population of 611,030. Porcelain was first made there during the Han dynasty (306 B.C.-330 A.D.). Since the Tang Dynasty, the white glazed china produced there had earned the name artificial jadeware. In the Northern Song Dynasty, officials were assigned by the emperor to the town to supervise the manufacturing of porcelain for the royal families, and Jingde china began to make its fame abroad. In the following centuries, Jingde china was sold to many countries across the world.
Poyang Lake
About 10,000 rare birds including white cranes, storks and swans winter on the Nanjishan Island in Poyang Lake, 60 kilometers away from the city proper
