Nanchang, Regional capital in Jiangxi, China

Nanchang extends along the Gan River banks, surrounded by the Jiuling Mountains to the west and Poyang Lake to the east.

The city gained its name in 201 BCE during the Han dynasty when it became the administrative center of Yuzhang Commandery.

The Tengwang Pavilion, constructed in 653, represents a central element of Chinese literature through Wang Bo's classical composition.

The central railway station connects multiple rail lines, making Nanchang a transportation center between eastern and southern China.

The Nanchang Uprising of August 1, 1927, marked the formation point of what later became the People's Liberation Army.
