Nanchang is a historical and cultural city praised by the great Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo as "a city of natural beauty, outstanding people and beautiful scenery". It has become a real heroic city because of the "August 1 Nanchang Uprising". This green city with the Ganjiang River running through it, with green mountains outside the city and lakes in the city, is a real water city. The city was developed and prospered by water. There is an ancient folk saying in Nanchang that "Seven gates, nine states, eighteen slopes, three lakes and nine ports connect Gan and Po". It is praised as a "green pearl" on the Beijing-Kowloon Railway.

The best time to travel to Nanchang is spring and autumn.
Nanchang has concentrated rainfall in spring (March to May). At this time, everything comes back to life, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the flowers are in full bloom. The beautiful scenery is so beautiful that people will linger. If you want to see the charm of Nanchang, the "Garden City", spring is the best time to travel.
The temperature in summer (June-August) is relatively high, so you can choose to go to Xianghu Lake or Meiling to escape the heat.
In autumn (September-November), the sky is high and the air is clear. Nanchang is close to Poyang Lake, where a large number of migratory birds come to spend the winter every year. The scene is very spectacular. Wang Bo, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once praised it as "the setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color." Although the migratory season for migratory birds is from October to March of the following year, the best time to watch birds in Poyang Lake is November; there are cruise ships from Nanchang to Wucheng (Jiujiang City), the nearest bird watching place, every day, which is very convenient; you need to pay attention to cold and rain protection when traveling to Nanchang at this time.
Nanchang is hot in summer and cold in winter, with the highest temperature reaching 40℃. It is one of the four "furnaces" in China. The rainy season is mostly concentrated in May-July, so you should prepare rain gear when traveling. There are occasional winds and snow in winter, and the coldest temperature is close to minus 10℃, so you must be especially careful about cold and heatstroke. In spring and autumn, it is enough to wear a T-shirt and a coat.
The cost of living in Nanchang is not high, and accommodation is the biggest expense. A daily cost of 200 yuan per person is very comfortable. The minimum cost of a backpacking trip can be controlled at 400 yuan for 3 days.
