Ganzhou

Ganzhou is a major city in Jiangxi Province that spreads across hilly and mountainous landscapes. The Gan River flows through the urban center while forested areas surround the city.

The region was first established as a county in the 3rd century and underwent several administrative changes across multiple dynasties. In 1999 it gained the status of a prefecture-level city, becoming more important administratively.

The city is a hub of traditional craftsmanship and local markets where you can observe daily life and local practices. People here maintain customs that shape how neighborhoods feel and how public spaces are used throughout the day.

The city sits on major transportation routes with highways and railways connecting to neighboring provinces. Visitors should plan ahead to understand which transport options work best for their travel timing.

The region leads globally in orange cultivation with extensive orchards visible across the landscape. It is also a major tungsten producer, giving the local economy a distinctive character.
