Nanchan
Nanchang is the capital city of Jiangxi Province but is home to just 2 million people, making it small by Chinese standards. Used mainly as a transit point to the more appealing attractions of Jingdezhen and Lushan, Nanchang is best known for its part in consolidating the Communist Party’s Power in the 1920’s.
People’s Square is located to the east of Bayi Park and is home to numerous communist icons including the Monument to the Martyrs.
The Monument to the Martyrs Statue sits proudly in People’s Square. The Monument was built in memory of the martyrs who laid down their lives in the Nanchang uprising of 1927.
Located in the centre of the city, Youmin Temple is a Zen Temple that Mazu, the famous Tang Dynasty Zen master resided at for long periods.
