Jiangxi Province
Jiangxi province is located on the southern banks of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It played an important role in Chinese revolutionary history and has outstanding natural scenery.
To people in China, Jiangxi is a ‘red’ province, synonymous with heroic feats and revolutionary spirit. Its provincial capital Nanchang is known as the ‘cradle of the people’s army’, Jinggang Mountain is called the ‘cradle of the Chinese revolution’ and Ruijin lays claim to the moniker ‘cradle of the People’s Republic’. The events that took place in the mountains and forests of this province during the tumultuous first half of the 20th century ultimately shaped the destiny of modern China.
Visitors today will have a far more peaceful experience of Jiangxi, which is also a ‘green’ province. It offers a wonderful natural ecological environment with picturesque mountains, including Lushan Mountain, Jinggang Mountain, Sanqing Mountain, Longhu Mountain and Mingyue Mountain, and clear lakes, such as Poyang Lake, Tuolin Lake and Fairy Lake.
The rich culture of Jiangxi is exemplified in Jingdezhen, known as the world’s capital of porcelain. Porcelain-making was elevated to a prestigious art form in Jingdezhen over the course of more than a thousand years. Here, you can see the world’s best representation of this beautiful Chinese craft.
