- A day is enough for most visitors.
- Trivia
- Nanchang was founded in 210 BC under the Han Dynasty.
Developments with the Communist Party are a recent development when it comes to Nanchang's 2,200-year-old history. In fact, among the memorials and war monuments is one of the nation's most cherished relics, the Prince Teng Pavilion. Sadly, the original was destroyed in a civil war during the 1920s, and what stands today is a rebuild from the 1980s.
This entire region is excellent for hikers, mountain bikers and all-around outdoor lovers. Most visitors travel on to smaller towns in the countryside (like Jinggang Shan or Lushan) before setting out on a hike, but anyone planning to spend more than a day in Nanchang may wish to set and explore the lake area.
