Their beauty is emphasized by jade tiles on the walls and roof eaves and red columns. But besides the pavilion in Nanchang there are other iconic sights.

The Bay monument is located in the center of the eponymous square. This huge monument with the flag of the People’s Liberation Army of China at the top is dedicated to the Nanchang Uprising of 1927. August 1 of that year is considered the day of the formation of the modern army of the PRC.

Yumin Temple is located in the south of Bai Park (not to be confused with Bai Square with the monument just mentioned). This ancient Buddhist temple is in excellent condition and is actively visited by both locals and tourists.

The embankment of the Gan River every evening attracts crowds of people. The fact is that from 21:00 to 23:00 light shows are held here. The city center skyscrapers are equipped with synchronized LED lighting, so it seems that the buildings seem to interact with each other. The best point to watch the show is the fountain from the Hongutan area (south of the Bay Bridge).

The Nanchang Star is the second highest ferris wheel in the world (160 m). One revolution takes 30 minutes. The attraction is located in the Ganjiang People's Park. Ticket price 70 CNY.

Weather

Nanchang is located in the subtropical monsoon climate zone - there is a lot of sun and rainfall. Weather in winter is quite cold and dry. Summer is hot, in spring and autumn it is cool and comfortable. And this is the best time to travel to Nanchang, although it is worth bearing in mind that heavy rains sometimes happen at the border of spring and summer.
