Jiangxi has unique scenery
Jiangxi, a provincial-level administrative region in China, abbreviated as "Gan," is renowned for its "abundant natural resources and outstanding people." Its picturesque landscapes are characterized by its mountains and rivers, rich cultural heritage, and flourishing religious traditions. The province boasts numerous historical sites, historical sites, and temples. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Jiangxi boasts numerous renowned peaks, including four national scenic spots: Lushan Mountain, Jinggang Mountain, Sanqing Mountain, and Longhu Mountain.
Jiangxi's revolutionary culture is well-known both at home and abroad. Jinggangshan is the cradle of the Chinese Revolution, Nanchang is the birthplace of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Ruijin is where the Soviet Central Government was established, and Anyuan is the source of the Chinese workers' movement. The Communist Party of China led the people to establish a large number of revolutionary bases in Jiangxi: the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base in western Jiangxi, the Hunan-Jiangxi Revolutionary Base, and the Northeast Jiangxi Revolutionary Base.
The climate of Jiangxi Province is characterized by cold spring, hot summer, dry autumn and cold winter. The four seasons are distinct, but spring and autumn are short, while summer and winter are long. Spring and autumn are the best time to travel to Jiangxi.
Lushan
Mount Lu, known for its extraordinary beauty, is located on the shores of Poyang Lake and the south bank of the Yangtze River. It combines grandeur, strangeness, danger and beauty, and is a world-renowned cultural landscape. The ever-changing sea of clouds and the various villas are all in one place. "You cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in it."
Jinggang Mountain
In 1927, Mao Zedong and Zhu De led the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to establish the first rural revolutionary base here. The spark of Jinggangshan spread across the country, so many people visited Jinggangshan with the idea of pilgrimage.
Wuyuan
Wuyuan, a county within Shangrao City, is dotted with ancient villages of all sizes. We recommend it as follows: "Green mountains and clear waters are a painting, and homes are hidden deep in the white clouds." Wuyuan's ancient villages, dotted with whitewashed walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, create a picturesque countryside, earning it the nickname "China's Most Beautiful Village."
Jingdezhen
There is a "town" in Jiangxi: Jingdezhen, the world's porcelain capital. The kiln fire that has never been extinguished for thousands of years shines with the light of Chinese civilization, and the porcelain that is "white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime" is famous at home and abroad.
Poyang Lake Wetland Park
Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake and Jiangxi's Mother Lake, boasts vast expanses of misty waters and picturesque scenery year-round. It's the world's largest migratory bird sanctuary, a veritable "Kingdom of Rare Birds." Enjoy watching migratory birds, exploring the wetlands, touring Poyang, and enjoying a fish feast.
