The capital of Jiangxi province, '''Nanchang''' is the cultural, economic, scientific center of Jiangxi. With deep historical ties, known as ''Heroes' City'' because it was here that the communist uprising of 1 August 1927 began.
Get in
Nanchang Airport has regular connections to many Chinese cities
Get around
Taxis & buses are the most popular ways of getting around, bus journeys being 1 Yuan per person however far.
However you will probably find that during peak times both are nearly impossible. At which point either walking or cycling are the only options (there is nowhere to rent bikes in Nanchang).
If visiting during the summer a bicycle is a good investment, at 110 Yuan from WalMart beside BaYi square. There are many cycle lanes covering the entire city, busy nearly all the time.''

Drink
There seem to be two main areas for drinking. On the main walking street in the upscale apartment complex there are 3-4 bars and a few clubs, all of which are hopping on the weekends. Another area is found around fuzhou road, there is VV club, and CD 1925.
Robot Head. ot sure..... Interesting bar/club near the Bayi Lake with multiple floors and clubbing rooms
CD 1925. uzhou Road. Interesting bar that has 4 different rooms laid out like a labyrinth. If you are drunk it makes for a terribly confusing night.

Get out
Nanchang is a good place to start other trips in Jiangxi province. It has good connections with Lushan, Jingangshan, Jingdezhen etc.
To get to Lushan from Nanchang on can find direct buses in front of the train station, the trip is about two and a half hours. Otherwise, one can take the train to the stop named Jiujiang (NOT the train station called Lushan). From here it will be easy to find people to share a taxi up to the park entrance (approx Y80 for a taxi) or buses to Lushan (about 1 hour) leave every 30-60 minutes from around 8am to 4pm from the intercity bus station. Bus lines 101 and 102 can be found in front of the train station and stop at the bus station (?_r__?__) within about four or five stops.
