When going to Nanchang, you must go to the Bayi Square, but its management is not satisfactory. The whole square is fenced off and you cannot enter and exit at will. You can only enter and exit through designated passages, which is very inhumane.
Located in the heart of Nanchang City, it is an important place for Jiangxi's political, economic, cultural, leisure and entertainment activities. Bayi Square covers an area of 78,000 square meters, mainly including the memorial area marked by the memorial tower, the remembrance area at the south end, the remembrance area with 8 reliefs as the carrier, and the citizen leisure area at the north end. It is a landmark attraction where you can stroll around, take photos and check in when you pass by.
Take the subway to Bayi Square Station. When you get out of the subway, you will see a very distinctive building. I checked and found out that it is the Jiangxi Exhibition Center. The main building was built in the 1950s and has maintained the original design style to maintain its characteristics.
When you pass through the August 1st Square, you can see the August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower. There are many tourists coming to pay their respects at the foot of the tower. The August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower is a landmark building in the August 1st Square. The front of the tower is engraved with the inscription "August 1st Nanchang Uprising Introduction". There is a relief of a figure reflecting the armed uprising on the east, south and west sides. The front of the tower is inscribed with the large copper-plated gilded characters "August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower". The top of the tower is composed of a giant upright "Hanyang-made" rifle and an August 1st Army flag.
The August 1st Square is very large. Looking far into the distance, the entire square is solemn, vast and unique. The Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower in the center of the square is tall and majestic. The stone carvings on the tower wall record the heroic history of the Chinese revolution. A giant national flag is raised in front of the tower. The front and back of the base are engraved with "A single spark can start a prairie fire" and "Where the military flag is raised" respectively.
Bayi Square, formerly known as People's Square, was built in 1952. It covers an area of about 78,000 square meters, mainly including the main building area marked by the memorial tower, the remembrance area at the south end, the remembrance area with eight reliefs as the carrier, and the citizen leisure area at the north end. Bayi Square is located in the center of Nanchang City and is the largest city center square in Jiangxi Province.
The landmark of Nanchang City is also the place where the first shot of the Chinese revolution was fired.
A must-see attraction in Nanchang, where the revolution of New China started!
As soon as you exit the subway station, you will see Bayi Square. There are many supermarkets and Wanda Plaza nearby, as well as many snack bars. You can spend a whole day here having fun and eating.
Nothing to see, surrounded by shopping malls
The grand square has the characteristics of the "earthy" Stalinism of the last century.
When I first went there, it was just an ordinary square. When I went there in 2016, the memorial version was much more magnificent, and there was also a musical fountain. It seemed to be more beautiful at night.
Walking along the Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall, you can reach the August 1st Square. What shocked me most about the August 1st Square was its size. The August 1st Uprising Monument stands on the square. Nanchang is a heroic city, and many places have names related to "August 1st".
This should be the city center. There are lights and fountains at night, and the city square is well built.
August 1 Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower......
Bayi Square is one of the most distinctive squares I think. The surrounding buildings are all red.
Just like every city has a classic square, this should be a tourist attraction for Nanchang people, a good place for citizens to relax and young people to talk about love. It is adjacent to Wanda and Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. It is also close to the August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall. The August 1st Uprising Memorial Tower stands in the center of the square, which is magnificent and makes people respect and remember the martyrs.
The significance of the monument is to fix the passing history. When you stand in front of it, the moment seems to emerge.
The plaza is very big, and Wanda is across the street. The surrounding commercial district is under construction, so I couldn't find any time-honored restaurants.
The area around Bayi Square can be said to be a prosperous center. Just outside the subway station is a bustling commercial pedestrian street. There are also large shopping malls all around, and it seems bustling at a glance.
I walked out of the subway station and onto an overpass, looking down at the Bayi Square from a high place. I found that even the flower beds were trimmed with red five-star colors. This heroic city is really suitable for a visit during the National Day holiday.
Opposite the square is Wanda Plaza, and behind it are two "twin buildings". Maybe it really is the saying "good things come in pairs"~
There is a long glass path in the middle of the square, on which is written the history of the founding of the army from 1927 to the present. Each of the few words was written with tragic and heroic words back then. Looking around the lively and cozy atmosphere in the square, one can't help but sigh that today's happiness is hard-won.
The square is now also a place for citizens to relax and have fun. I followed the local customs and sat on the steps under the monument to bask in the sun. It was a clear day and many people were flying kites in the square. The kite with the five-star red flag was particularly dazzling. I felt a sense of pride and couldn't help but want to sing "The five-star red flag is flying in the wind..." There are osmanthus trees on both sides of the Bayi Square.
Under the night sky, the Bayi Square was bustling with people, and the area under the monument was also dark. It was estimated that many people came here to make up for the regrets of Qiu Shui Square, and they occupied the best viewing positions by the fountain pool early.
At eight o'clock, several loud military bugles sounded, and streams of snow-white fountains shot up into the sky like salutes, scattering flower rain all over the sky, weaving into a delicate curtain of water that fell down, causing people to exclaim in surprise.
Then the water column in the pool kept rolling and changing with the rhythm of the music, sometimes blue, sometimes red, colorful, satisfying everyone's desire to watch the fountain. A fountain show lasts about 18 minutes, and there will be two performances in the evening. Fortunately, I didn't miss any of them!
A large square, the symbol of Nanchang, the monument is located on high steps, very majestic
Nanchang Bayi Square was formerly known as People's Square. It is located in Donghu District, Nanchang City. It is an important place for political, economic, cultural and other activities in Nanchang City and Jiangxi Province.
The Bayi Square is quite nice, with a lot of people, including tourists and local citizens. The monument on the square is a landmark, and there is also a revolutionary history of Nanchang on the ground, which is very distinctive.
It is not far from Nanchang Railway Station and there is Wanda Plaza next to it.
A landmark building in Nanchang, it enjoys convenient transportation and is surrounded by one of Nanchang's business districts.
The red atmosphere is very strong! There are many citizens taking a walk at night.
Learn history, remember history, and feel how hard it is to build a new China.
There is a musical fountain at 7:55 every night, accompanied by sonorous and powerful red songs. It is quite shocking and recommended.
Free, in the center of Nanchang, there are more people at night, it's a big square
August 1st Square! The first shot of the uprising!
There is a glass path right in front of the monument, and under the glass path is the history of Nanchang. There is nothing else to see except taking a look at the monument, after all, the square is so big. But you must check it out when you come to Nanchang!
By the way, this memorial tower can also be regarded as the Army Founding Memorial Tower. Apart from the Monument to the People's Heroes, this should be the tower that can best stabilize the country's destiny.
The Nanchang Uprising Memorial is located on the August 1st Square.
The symbol of Nanchang, come here to commemorate the atmosphere of the uprising.
Because it was raining, there were not many people in the square, and the solemn and serious monument probably could not unify the aunties in singing the cheerful rhythm of "The Most Dazzling National Style", so it was quiet and pleasant to take a walk here after dinner.
The square with lights interweaving at night is much more lively than the gloomy daytime. After the rain, it also looks refreshing and bright. Nearly a hundred years later, the shouts of fighting in the Nanchang Uprising have been silenced in the hustle and bustle of traffic, crowds, and the changing times. Facing the solemn monument, people still recall or imagine the tragedy and tragedy of that time, but I think more of it is to be grateful that I live in a peaceful era, and by the way, reflect on myself, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
There is no need to experience the changing flags on the city walls, nor the sound of a gunshot in the morning light. A happy life is hard to come by, ah Lili!
The August 1st Square reminds people that this is the place where the new Chinese uprising began. It was the first shot fired by the leaders against the KMT that led to the current stable and peaceful Chinese society. In fact, many domestic phenomena originate from the root cause of the large population. However, as a person who has spent two years in Africa, I think that as a Chinese, the motherland is already very strong.
It is a square used to commemorate the August 1st Nanchang Uprising
There are many things about the Communist Party of China that are worth remembering, and it is also worth it for our people to understand the party’s history.
It is so famous that I have to come. I live in Shengjin Pagoda, which is 3 kilometers away, not far. Standing under the tower, I still feel a sense of admiration and pride. Without this victory, history would be rewritten, and perhaps China today would be different.
2016/10 I want to take my girlfriend home
Generally speaking, Bayi Square is located in the hub of Nanchang City. It has become a gathering place for old men to play cards. There is nothing to see.
Bayi Square, Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower, commemorating the heroes
There were a lot of people there during the National Day holiday, and it was a very red square.
Every time I pass by, I check in.
It is magnificent, with outstanding people and abundant natural resources.
I passed by there. The square was also under renovation because the subway was being built nearby.
The largest city center square in Jiangxi Province, it is an important place for political, economic, cultural, leisure and entertainment activities in Nanchang City and Jiangxi Province. It was originally named People's Square.
It is said that it is for the Army Day, and the whole building is under renovation. I can only look at it from a distance if I want to visit it recently.
We come here with great excitement to pay respect to the military spirit and celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army. The old square is being repaired and will be given a new look on August 1st.
Poor, too lazy, I didn't even go to the classics. Bayi Square, located in the heart of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, is the largest city center square in Jiangxi Province. It is a piece of history.
Nanchang Bayi Square is a landmark in Nanchang. The main attraction of the square is the Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower in the center, and there is also a beautiful fountain pool. But we didn't see the fountain when we went there. Maybe it was not the right time. The whole square is quite large, and there are delicious foods nearby, and shopping is quite convenient.
I personally think this is a landmark building in Nanchang. It is a must-visit place for those who come to Nanchang for the first time.
It is a big square with a big monument. There is a big glass cover on the ground with a long text about the August 1st Uprising. The August 1st Uprising Command Site is not here, but a distance away. It is not easy to get a taxi nearby. In short, the square is a place where citizens can have fun and relax.
Not far from the Bayi Park is the Bayi Square. This is the center of the city and the original significance of the country's regime. Today, there stands a monument here, engraved with the history of those who rose up with blood.
The most famous thing about August 1st Square is the monument and the place where the military flag is raised.
I finally went to the place I had been longing for, and retraced the Red Army Road.
"2009-2-20 Bayi Square"
I have been there twice. The first time was when I went to Nanchang to visit my high school classmates in my sophomore year. I went there with my classmates. The second time was in 2010 when I took my college classmates there. Both times I went there in winter, and it didn't feel very big. From the perspective of attractions, there is really nothing to see. It is just a square, suitable for sunbathing and strolling. From a historical perspective, there is an "August 1 Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower" and some stone carvings showing that period of history. There is also a place to raise the five-star red flag in the center of the square, which can be used to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the revolution.
After lunch, it was still early, so I decided to change my plan to go to Bayi Square the next day to today. I took a taxi and remembered that it was the starting price. The most important building in Bayi Square is the Nanchang August 1st Uprising Memorial Tower. After N years of development, it has gradually become one of the most prosperous commercial centers in Nanchang. However, the subway is being built around it, and the square feels messy, even worse than Tianfu Square.
Nanchang is the birthplace of the Chinese revolution. The August 1st Square is solemn and dignified, similar in style to the Pyongyang Square in North Korea, and gives off a sense of awe.
The place where the party-state flourished is a very thought-provoking place.
Bayi Square is a place to commemorate the revolution. It is somewhat solemn and has a modern feel. The time for visiting can be long or short. For Nanchang, Bayi Square is a landmark place and is worth a visit.
The Grand Citizen Square has eight reliefs introducing the history of the army.
Nanchang is not as good as I imagined. I saw the fountain in Bayi Square at night, which was not bad. The Wanda next to it is really terrible. There are not many places to eat nearby.
The square is very big and old, and it looks like all the money has been spent.
There is a shopping mall nearby. You can go to the square after watching a movie or having a meal.
The Nanchang Uprising Monument is also a landmark building in Nanchang (I miss the Dalian Huabiao so much TT)
Nanchang really doesn't have many tourist attractions. After visiting Tengwang Pavilion, we went to Bayi Square to visit the August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower. The memorial tower is isolated in the city center, as if it is defending the glory of the past. Except for a few travelers, passers-by are in a hurry and don't look up. Bayi Park is also a bit dilapidated surrounded by old houses. Nanchang is currently building a subway, and many roads are closed for construction. It looks messy and dusty, just like my feeling about Xi'an when I first arrived in Xi'an that year. Now it has been seven years.
As the central square of the city, the square houses the famous August 1st Memorial Tower, surrounded by some memorial reliefs, and surrounded by department stores, Wanda Plaza and other shopping centers. The square is very large and is a place for citizens to relax and entertain at night.
Every time I go to Nanchang, I am in a hurry. Bayi Square is a place worth remembering!
The place where the military flag is raised. Salute to the revolutionary predecessors. Get off at Bayi Square Station and see the red flag flying in the distance. There are many second-hand mobile phone buyers in the square next door, so you know
The entire city center of Nanchang ~ You can see it from afar or play it nearby ~
Nanchang Bayi Square, formerly known as People's Square, is the center of Nanchang's civic activities. The landmark building of the square is the August 1st Uprising Memorial Tower. There is also the August 1st Music Fountain on the square, which looks spectacular, but we didn't see it when we went there. There is currently a subway construction going on around it, so it's quite dirty.
The center is good for visiting the August 1st Uprising Monument! There are Wanda, pedestrian streets, etc. around, and you can eat and stay.
When filming in Bayi Square, a little boy passing by asked his mother: "Mom, why do we put a fake military flag here?" After thinking for a long time, I was speechless. There are always some things in this world that are meant to commemorate the forgotten. When the post-00s talk about commemoration and the tragic revolution, do they really know what it is? The times are always changing, and in the new era, where will our spirit go?
The August 1st Square is located in the center of Nanchang. There is a monument to the August 1st Uprising on the square. Next to the square is Wanda Plaza.
I took some time off during a business trip to visit Bayi Square.
The tall memorial tower can be seen from a distance. I can't help but pay tribute to the martyrs, read the text introduction and the relief of the Nanchang Uprising, and recall the great achievements of Premier Zhou in his prime.
As for the fact that it is the third largest in the country, I don't believe it.
1. Located in the center of Nanchang, you can take a bus to Bayi Square. It is not far from the railway station, only about 2km. 2. The scenic spot is free. The Monument to the People's Heroes is in the middle. It takes half an hour to walk around the whole square. It is a place for Nanchang people to relax. 3. Opposite the monument is a place selling electronic products. Then it is very convenient to go shopping on Zhongshan Road Commercial Street. On one side is Wanda Plaza, which has a cinema and Walmart supermarket. 4. It is also very close to the Uprising Memorial Hall, which is a 15-minute walk away. 5. For meals, there are many foods on Zhongshan Road. The specialty of Nanchang is Ji Ji Hong Hotpot, which is basically one every 100 meters. The price is also very cheap, about 40 per person.
In the summer of 1993, I went to Nanchang with my old classmate Qi Fenghua.
Nanchang's August 1st Square stands in the center of the city like a big crossroads, with five roads twisted here. Old Nanchang people have been strolling here since the People's Square was built in 1952. Later, it was transformed into a live advertisement for the "military flag raising site". The 53-meter-high Uprising Memorial Tower is the most majestic. On the top of the tower, a Hanyang-made rifle is supported by the August 1st Army Flag. Three large reliefs depict the eve of the uprising, the fighting scene, and the victory scene like a comic strip. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the fountain dances with military songs, and the red light makes the water column look like a burning uprising signal flare. The 49-meter-long stone slab road under your feet is engraved from the 1927 uprising to the modern strong army. You can walk through the history of the founding of the army by taking a walk. Behind the flag-raising platform in the southeast corner, there are two calligraphy works by Chairman Mao, "Sparks" and Chairman Jiang, "Military Flag Raising". The square is right after you get off the subway. The Martyrs Memorial Hall, the Uprising Memorial Hall, and the Tengwang Pavilion are all within walking distance. In the evening, an old man flies a kite to the top of the memorial tower, and a bride poses in front of the relief with her wedding dress. The square dance hits and the red light show create a magical Nanchang atmosphere.
