Nanchang 3-Day City Walk Guide

Lonely Planet calls Nanchang an "underrated city of heroes." Wang Bo's immortal verse — "the sunset glow and the lone duck fly together; the autumn water merges with the vast sky" — written at Tengwang Pavilion. The 1927 Nanchang Uprising birthed the PLA. Three days to touch its heroic heritage and street-level warmth.
