Jiangxi

Jiangxi, right in the heart of China, is a place as poetic as it is beautiful. Here, you’ll find breathtaking natural landscapes, rich history, and a culture all its own. Traveling in Jiangxi feels like stepping into a time-travel adventure—there’s so much to discover!

1. Lush Greenery—Nature’s Embrace

When people say Jiangxi is “green,” they mean it! With super high forest coverage, you’re surrounded by rolling hills and clear waters. Up north is Poyang Lake (鄱阳湖), China’s largest freshwater lake. Every winter, almost all the world’s white cranes gather here—seeing thousands of them dance together is truly spectacular! There’s also the misty peaks of Lushan (庐山) and the dramatic granite formations of Sanqing Mountain (三清山), perfect for fresh air and relaxation. The scenery changes with the seasons: golden rapeseed flowers in Wuyuan (婺源) in spring, fiery red leaves on Lushan in autumn—beauty all year round!

2. Red Memories—History Comes Alive

Jiangxi played a key role in China’s revolutionary history, but “red tourism” here is anything but boring! Hike the old Red Army grain-carrying trail in Jinggangshan (井冈山), or visit Ruijin (瑞金) to see what life was like in the “cradle of the republic.” There are also amazing live-action shows using modern tech to bring history to life. These historical stories blend beautifully with the charming villages, letting you experience both the past and the vibrant present.

3. Living Heritage—A Thousand Years of Culture

Jiangxi’s culture is as deep as an endless book. In Jingdezhen (景德镇), the “porcelain capital,” stroll the historic Taoyangli (陶阳里) district and try your hand at pottery or painting blue-and-white porcelain—feel the warmth of a thousand-year-old kiln. At Longhu Mountain (龙虎山), watch the sunrise or sunset at the Taoist holy site, surrounded by stunning Danxia landforms. Even ancient academies like Bailudong Shuyuan (白鹿洞书院) now use new tech to let you experience the wisdom of ancient scholars. Many traditional crafts, like Hakka pounded tea (客家擂茶) or Huizhou-style architecture in Wuyuan, offer hands-on courses for a deeper dive.

4. Culinary Surprises—Taste Jiangxi

Jiangxi food is all about bold, authentic flavors! In Nanchang, locals love their slow-cooked claypot soup (瓦罐汤)—it’s warming and comforting, made using ancient methods. Jingdezhen even has a special “porcelain banquet” (瓷器宴), where food and beautiful ceramics come together. Try specialties like Lianhua blood duck (莲花血鸭), which has roots in Ming dynasty army cuisine. Overall, Jiangxi dishes are known for being fresh, spicy, and rich—don’t miss Poyang Lake fish head stew (鄱阳湖鱼头煲) or stir-fried reed shoots with cured pork (藜蒿炒腊肉), a taste of the local wetlands and mountains. When you need a break, relax in a “Ruzishu Book House” (孺子书房) with tea and a good book—the perfect way to enjoy “the fragrance of books and tea.”

5. Welcoming the World

Jiangxi is opening its arms to visitors from all over the globe. With campaigns like “Discover Jiangxi,” more people are learning about its beauty. Nanchang airport now offers convenient transit visa-free policies, and the new high-speed rail to Hong Kong makes getting here easier than ever. They’ve also thoughtfully prepared bilingual tours, meditation workshops, and other activities for international travelers, making cultural exchange easy and fun. The growing number of overseas visitors says it all!

In short, Jiangxi is a place where red history, green nature, and ancient culture blend perfectly. From the cranes dancing at Poyang Lake to the glowing kilns of Jingdezhen, every corner tells a story where tradition meets modern life. Come to Jiangxi and start your own journey of discovery!
